Going Virtual. ACICIS Takes a New Approach to Delivering In-Country Learning.

For over 20 years the Australian Consortium for In-Country Indonesian Studies (ACICIS) has given young Australians the chance to study in-country, but for the time being, COVID-19 has made travel to Indonesia and full immersion impossible. However, Government funding through the New Colombo Plan will give undergraduates the chance to have a virtual ACICIS experience.
