They also talked about the differences between their respective cultures and their daily lives. All groups gave presentations and deepened both their knowledge of the various health systems and their understanding of cultural differences.• Our School of Medicine strives to provide an international medical education for all its students and looks forward to connecting with you.Medical School COIL project betweenJapan-Indonesia-ThailandStudent voices:Collaborating Institution: Curtin University, Australia• This special event was hosted by the GEC as part of the International Co-Learning Project.• Participants from eight countries shared their opinions about, and experiences of, climate change and its impacts.
