Show Notes

Welcome to part 3 of 3 as a part of our collaboration across Australia and Malaysia.  We continue to share our experiences of a study tour and global education practicum supported by the New Colombo Plan. This episode was 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 Stephen and Lewis, we talk about change in association to visions and dreams. This episode is one that will have you thinking a lot! We touch on a number of topics - neurodiversity, mental health, life style choices, inclusion, humanity, kindness, and how to choose yourself. 

Special thank you to my colleagues for this episode:
