Global Engagement Month 2026
From 3 to 24 September, UWA comes together to Think Globally. Join a month of events, workshops and celebrations exploring how we learn, work, live, belong, celebrate and innovate globally.
A university-wide global celebration
Global Engagement Month is a UWA-wide initiative celebrating global learning, international partnerships and cultural diversity across our university. This year's theme, Think Globally, is about the many ways UWA connects with the world, whether that's how we learn, work, live, belong, celebrate or innovate globally.
Across the month, students, staff, partners and the wider community can take part in events and activities that reflect UWA's global impact.

A message from our Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement)
“Global Engagement Month is a special moment in the UWA calendar. From our partnerships around the world to the students and staff who bring global perspectives to campus every day, this month celebrates the interconnected world we are all part of.
Our mission is clear: to empower every member of the UWA community to think globally, collaborate across borders, and contribute to solving the world's most pressing challenges. Whether through study abroad, international research or cultural exchange, global engagement transforms lives and shapes futures.
I encourage you to take part, connect, and be inspired by the remarkable global community we are building together.”
Professor Jennifer Howell
