Engagement
Significant mutually beneficial outcomes can be achieved when QUT faculties and divisions apply their intellectual, virtual and physical assets to the community. QUT has several current engagement projects that are examples of the University working with business/government/community to provide solutions to real world issues.

Fanchong, Cherbourg and QUT
Researchers from QUT and the Australian National University have teamed up to help rural schools learn more about each other. Fanchong Primary School (China) and Cherbourg State School (a Queensland Aboriginal school), are sharing stories, photos and even sports equipment. Despite differences in culture, language and geography, both schools are working hard to overcome problems associated with marginalisation and geographic isolation. This project gives them an opportunity to learn about another culture, about what ‘poverty’ means and about why education is valued in different communities across the world.
