What is a reference group?
The reference group meets once a month to discuss the progress of the Voices From The Margins Project. Participants were invited to share their insights and expertise relevant to the project design, participant recruitment, research translation and the development of strategies and initiatives to enhance international student experiences.
Why is this important?
The reference group is an important element to the construction of the research project as it gives contributors an opportunity to talk about their knowledge and expertise of international student experiences, concerns, strategies and initiatives.
The team will co-design strategies and initiatives that can contribute to creating safe, inclusive, and connected transitions to study, life and work, post-lockdowns in Melbourne.
Thank you! to all of the reference group members.
