Combine this with undertaking a youth empowerment project with a registered village youth group, as you build the confidence, aspiration and life-skills of young Fijian adults through interdisciplinary daily activities and workshops. In addition, each afternoon, take part in a trademark feature of a Think Pacific project under the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs: The Culture Course… immerse yourself in Fijian customs and traditional skills and learn from those who know it best.

We aim to be the epitome of purposeful, responsible and empowering international projects and experiential learning programmes. Central to this is the depth of our association with local communities, government departments and organisations within Fiji, which is unique and unrivalled.
Every project is planned in collaboration and at the request of rural communities and directed and monitored by Fijian Ministries to ensure our projects have real purpose and long term sustainability. We are respected for working within the framework of the government, adding benefit to long term strategies and the advancement of education, access and opportunity for youths and children living in rural areas.
We work alongside many leading international universities and hold many partnerships to support the formal delivery of global mobility. Through our structured projects, we guide hundreds of students annually who develop leadership, transferable skills and expand their cultural understanding, whilst contributing to the aims and initiatives of our Fijian partners.
