Welcome to episode 4 of series 7 as we continue to share our experiences of a study tour and global education practicum supported by the New Colombo Plan. This episode is part 2 of 3 recorded in a large room with us all gathered around a microphone to capture the moment. We are joined by 7 Malaysian pre-service teachers from the teacher institute Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Tun Abdul Razak (IPGKTAR) in Kuching, Malaysia Borneo to talk all things being and becoming teachers.
In this episode co-produced by Rachel and Taylah, we talk about wellbeing and self-care across the contexts of Australia and Malaysia. We discuss neglecting wellbeing and what this has taught us, new intentions, and professional responsibility. We have a really interesting and juicy conversation about hustle culture and the impact on teaching and the education sector.
Special thank you to my colleagues for this episode:
Mdm. Susan Anak Musis Jantan, Head of Practicum at IPGKTAR for our ongoing collaboration and continued ideas that foster connection.
Peter Anak Boniface Chandan for the recording and technical support.
