WHY GO ABROAD? Diversity and Inclusion Travel is important for understanding diversity and inclusion. Students will feel an affinity with the country they have studied in while developing an understanding of and sensitivity to the cultures of peer students they study with. This ensures greater cultural understanding both at home and overseas and builds up social and economic ties between nations. Being ethically aware and acting on the basis of knowledge and understanding are essential elements of Trinity’s graduate attributes that can be developed through a mobility experience. Diversity enhances education and students benefit intellectually from studying alongside peers from different racial and ethnical backgrounds. A Global Perspective No one university can solve all the problems facing the world. We encourage students to stay longer at your exchange destination and make the most of new ways of learning, internship opportunities and independent research. Try to avoid multiple trips and make the journey part of the experience. An understanding of the interconnectedness between climate, biodiversity, politics and culture is key, and you should aim to link this to your own studies. Your international experience should help you to appreciate knowledge beyond your chosen field. 02
