Square Circle was privileged to deliver an education and capacity development program to a dynamic group of Australia Awards scholars from the Mekong region. DFAT’s Mekong–Australia Partnership (MAP) is based on a shared vision among the countries of the Mekong sub-region and Australia for an open, inclusive, secure, and prosperous region. The cohort of future leaders comprises 47 awardees from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand.
Over the course of their 2-year Australia Awards experience (2021–2022), Square Circle delivered numerous on-award activities focused on important Developmental Leadership skills and frameworks, building people-to-people linkages, and furthering dialogue on important topics for the region. These activities aimed to enhance the awardees’ Australia Awards experience and strengthen their practical capacity for collaborative governance and strategic management. Square Circle is confident that the cohort will go on to engage with entrenched challenges and advance inclusive development outcomes for the Mekong sub-region.
Square Circle’s in-house production unit, SC Studio, produced high quality video products for reporting and public diplomacy, earning an additional contract with DFAT for digital storytelling related to the MAP. SC Studio creatively highlighted awardee stories and tangibly illustrated outcomes that were central to the program goals.
