Save the date - Workshop on Australian International Section in Nouméa on the 16th and 17th of April 2026

Thanks to the financial support of the Australian-French Association for Research and Innovation, the INSPÉ of New Caledonia (the National Institute for Teaching and Education), in partnership with the Vice Rector/General Director of New Caledonia education, organises a Workshop dedicated to the Australian International Section (AIS), deployed in New Caledonia, Australia, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna and in French Polynesia.

The organisers of this workshop are Stéphane Minvielle, Vice-President of the University of New Caledonia (UNC) and director of the INSPÉ of New Caledonia, and Florence Boulard, teacher-researcher at James Cook University Townsville.

The two days will notably discuss the following topics:

• History and development of the AIS program

• Actors, partnerships and networking of AIS

• Pathways of training and skills developed by AIS students

• Challenges and stakes for the implementation and sustainability of an AIS journey

• Produce, share and mutualise resources for the AIS

• Evolution of the organisation and practices in the Australian education system

• Co-construct a research project around the AIS

We hope that you will be able to participate in this Workshop, either in person it or on videoconference.
