Unfamiliar Familiarity
This project aims to raise awareness, change the perception and communicate to students that they are not alone when they experience reverse culture shock. The main element of the project is a care package for student returnees, which includes a reverse culture shock guide, personal stories of past students on postcards, business collateral and a t-shirt. Other elements include a resourceful app and a social media presence. Rather than students having a negative readjustment process this project emphasises on students positively benefitting from all they have gained and learnt from their time abroad.
