Chrysalis

Our students had a fantastic time at our 2019 Chrysalis Conference! 🙌

During this intense one-week conference, life-long friendships were formed, and students gained a deeper understanding of cross-cultural competency, public speaking and business management skills, and future study options at IES College.👨‍🏫

Adding to our already stellar line up for Chrysalis Conference this year, we are excited to welcome back Tamara Richardson. She is the Founder and Director of multi-award winning, PACE 48, a multinational, youth-led platform promoting access to cultural education. PACE 48 facilitates youth-led intercultural relations, while empowering youth to see the social and economic development value in promoting the intergenerational transmission of intangible cultural heritage.

Hailing from rural Queensland and having a passion for the role that ICTs play in accessing education, Tamara was the first young person invited by UNESCO to record an interview for their podcast series, ‘Talking About Culture’, joining other notable United Nations representatives from the Culture sector. She is an appointed Associate of the UNESCO Chair in Intercultural & Interreligious Relations, Asia Pacific, and is currently the Australian Government’s National Delegate to the Commonwealth Youth Council.

We are eager to see what Tamara will bring to the conference this year!

This year’s Chrysalis participants will get to visit the world’s first and largest koala Sanctuary – Lone Pine. Participants not only get to see the animals BUT meet them as well as well as connect emotionally with nature.
The Chrysalis Young Leaders Conference will be held from 28 July to 4 August 2018. Application deadline is Friday 27 April 2018.
