About the programme
Experience the unique culture, customs and way of life of the South Pacific islands. Make lifelong friendships and shared memories on a challenging team project whilst developing unique skills, boosting your confidence and making a real contribution.
Think Pacific’s projects offer you the opportunity to actually join a traditional village, become a member of a Fijian family and work as a team to contribute to youth, sports, health or building initiatives – on behalf of the Fijian Ministry of Health, Fijian Ministry of Youth & Sports and other local partners.
Learn more about how to apply for a University-supported space on a Think Pacific project on the University’s learning abroad portal, or get started with an application with Think Pacific directly via their website.
