PACE International is jointly managed by Macquarie University and Australian Volunteers International. It offers students a unique opportunity to actively contribute to more just, inclusive and sustainable societies through their participation with an international organisation.

Students undertaking a PACE International project will work in partnership with local people to assist them to meet their own goals. Our international partners develop projects that respond to needs identified by the community - they are key to all projects. By participating in a PACE International project our students will:

• Experience what it's like to live and work in a developing community
• Share knowledge and skills with others
• Contribute to positive change
• Become a global citizen
