Summer School with University of Western Australia

From June 14 to 28, 2025, UPF is hosting students from the University of Western Australia (UWA).

As part of the “Summer School” program, these Australian students are discovering Polynesian culture through academic courses (Linguistics, Musicology, Environmental Studies, etc.) and cultural activities (Introduction to Polynesian Dance, the Tahiti Cross-Island Trail, etc.) at UPF.

We would like to thank the Australian Consulate-General in Papeete for organizing the evening event on June 18, 2025, bringing together Australia Awards alumni, former Australian students, Australian residents in Tahiti, and UWA students participating in the New Colombo Plan. During this gathering, the designated Australian Consul-General in Papeete, Ms. Greta Whyte, emphasized the importance of education and the richness of exchanges and ties between our cultures!

Our UPF students are also taking part in the Summer School! By registering for the Buddy Program, they mentor these international students and support them in their local student life. They are also welcome to join the academic and cultural activities.

The University of Western Australia in Summer School at UPF

From June 14 to 28 2025, sixteen students from the University of Western Australia, accompanied by their professor Sabine KUUSE, Senior Lecturer in French Studies, will take part in a Summer School organized by UPF. The program includes courses on Polynesian culture (Tuamotu linguistics, traditional music, an introduction to ecological transition sciences in French Polynesia, etc.) as well as cultural activities such as learning ‘ori tahiti (Tahitian dance), an excursion to Teahupo’o wave, and a visit to the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands, etc. 

These experiences will allow them to deepen their understanding of Oceania, and in particular, the rich cultural heritage of French Polynesia. The ocean that surrounds our islands is not a barrier, but a bridge between peoples and cultures.
