What  is  MyEducation?

MyEducation  offers  intentionally  defined  pathways  through  the  city:  means  of  engaging  with  the  urban  environment  in  ways  that  are  relevant  to  your

studies  and  interests.  The  intention  is  to  empower  you  to  make  specific  connections  between

classroom  theory  and  the  outside  world.

CAPA  developed  the  MyEducation  program  to  help  you  select  cultural  experiences  that  are

relevant  to  your  academic  courses  and  personal  learning  goals  abroad.  Events,  activities,  and

reflective  sessions  are  identified  and  designed  around  significant  themes  such  as  Community  and

People,  Government  and  Power,  Landscape  and  Time,  Diversity  and  Identity,  and  Arts  and

Culture.  Participation  in  these  activities  will  give  you  an  intelligent,  well-­rounded,  and  in-­depth

perspective  on  the  global  city  where  you  are  studying.

You  will  have  the  opportunity  to  choose  from  a  range  of  activities  with  varying  styles  of

presentation.  This  allows  you  to  pick  a  session  that  speaks  to  you  and  your  way  of  learning.

Some  examples  of  MyEducation  sessions  offered  in  the  past  few  months  in  Sydney  include:

Lecture  on  immigration

Visit  to  La  Perouse  to  learn  about  boomerangs

Coastal  walk  along  Sydney  Harbour

This  style  of  learning  is  a  unique  and  valuable  opportunity  to  make  the  most  out  of  your  time  studying  in  another  country.

How  does  it  work?

Each  CAPA  program  presents  a  MyEducation  Calendar  to  all  students  and  faculty.  The  MyEducation  calendar  is  designed  for  you  by  local  staff  and

faculty  to  bring  theory  to  life,  and  to  offer  a  unique  and  valuable  opportunity  to  make  the  most  out  of  your  time  studying  in  another  country.

MyEducation  activities  are  either  staff-­led  or  self-­directed.  Every  week,  one  item  will  be  selected  as  the

MyEducation  Event  of  the  Week,  and  further  information  will  be  given  on  this  highlighted  event  in  hand-­outs

and  in  a  weekly  email,  delivered  directly  to  your  inbox!

Some  CAPA  professors  integrate  MyEducation  activities  into  their  courses  and  assessment,  so  that  you

may  have  an  opportunity  to  reflect  upon,  write  about,  and  present  your  experiences.  MyEducation  is  also

an  excellent  mechanism  to  develop  areas  of  interest  that  may  be  extended  into  an  application  for  the  CAPA

Record  of  Achievement.
