- Description
- The University of Newcastle has taken a proactive approach in promoting interactions between international Muslim students, staff of the University and members of the broader community. The development of networks has been integral to a number of projects and has been vital in connecting students to the community. Through these networks, three resources were collaboratively developed. Their focus was on assisting international Muslim students to integrate into the local community and to assist the broader community to better understand Muslim beliefs and practices. The development of these resources led to requests for training. Training for the Faculty of Health focused on building knowledge and skills for staff. The content of this training was developed into two further resources. These resources and training continue to develop intercultural interactions and aim to build connections for international Muslim students in academic and social environments.
