IDEA COMMUNITY
Working as a collective.
To change lives.
IDEA collaborates with a network of partners that provide opportunities for our students, contribute to our campuses, and support our research and advocacy so that more young people can access alternative models of education, like IDEA.
“All we need to do is to have a piece of the path to the future. And that’s ours and we polish that and we hone that. And we place that in the pathway that we are building. And of course, as we build, that pathway it changes us as the builders of the path. And it also shapes the destination that we’re going to”
– Dr Noel Nannup* Noongar Elder
*Speaking at the Presencing Institute’s GAIA series, 2020
Noel acknowledges his sister for passing on this insight and the original speaker who is unknown. We would also like to acknowledge these story tellers.
Partnership Opportunities
There are multiple additional ways that you or your organisation can engage with and support IDEA students through a partnership, including:
Mentors
Mentors can help young people to explore their interests and unlock their potential. They can have a profound impact on a young person’s life. We seek to match our students with mentors who can support them on their learning journey.
Partner Programs
IDEA is a human-centred, adaptive organisation. We respond to student needs and co-design bespoke learning experiences. To do this at scale, we partner with people and organisations who can support our students on their learning journeys.
Research and Advocacy
We partner with higher education and research-driven organisations to measure our social and systemic impact. This feeds into our advocacy work. We collaborate to shape and drive a systems change agenda in education.
Work Experience
We want students to experience the world of work and shape their career and study pathways in response. We connect young people with organisations who can help them to explore different career possibilities as part of our work integrated learning program. We also take on interns who want to learn more about IDEA and contribute to our mission.
