Immersia: Engaging Asia and the Pacific

Presented by ANU College of Asia & the Pacific

 

Both the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and the ANU School of Culture, History & Language (CHL) represent a unique kind of diversity and multicultural knowledge system.
 
This has traditionally been showcased in smaller flagship events and initiatives. 
 
Our extended vision on the CHL Flagship Program, which showcases our research excellence, is to broaden its reach via a creative, interactive platform like Immersia. 
 
Join us as we bring all our amazing diverse cultural perspectives together in a cohesive, vibrant and collective cultural event!
 
Come and immerse yourselves with us in Immersia: Engaging with Asia and the Pacific! 
 
Presenting Immersia: a unique concept that will showcase our research excellence differently. 
 
Immersia is all about cultural immersion for that real-time experience of all the cultural and research diversity we represent. We currently also have a callout in progress for expressions of interest to participate and perform. 
 
Watch this space for updates on the 2023 program, which is coming soon.
