Description
This qualitative study explored the effects of a humanitarian-focused trip to Vietnam in 2017 on secondary students from a Queensland independent school investigating how this form of learning was transformative. Qualitative data obtained allowed the researcher-participant to record and observe this change with the application of thematic codes aligned inductively to distinct themes within the data. Hammer’s (2011, 2012) Intercultural Development Continuum provided the conceptual framework for this study. This research contributes to understanding the value of Australian secondary school students’ intercultural encounters in an Asian country, with the findings indicating a development of intercultural understanding, active citizenship and empathy.
