We're looking for adventure seekers who value the art of storytelling and want to connect with indigenous peoples. Three SCC faculty are leading a group of 16-20 interested students to Queensland, Australia, where we'll live and work with an aboriginal community for two weeks. We'll spend a week on indigenous lands on Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. After three nights in Sydney, we'll fly to Wellington, New Zealand, where we'll spend 2 nights before going on to New Plymouth, where we'll spend the rest of the tour exploring Maori arts and cultural exchange.
