LCC Global: Projects

We collaborate with creative businesses, governments, and educational/cultural organisations on projects that have a positive impact on the world around us.

Along with our partners, we work to generate new perspectives and foster creative expression in a globalised world.

We aim to provide international experiences for students and staff, enriching the curriculum and strengthening strategic partnerships through research and knowledge exchange. Our projects stem from a commitment to diversity, curiosity, empowerment and sustainability.
