description This reflection explores the metaphorical significance of the horizon in inspiring ventures beyond the familiar. Through the lens of the International Studies program at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), it examines how students engage with new cultural and intellectual frontiers, expanding their ‘space of experience’ and ‘horizon of expectation’ in line with Reinhard Koselleck’s theoretical framework. This transformative journey challenges students to confront personal limitations, fostering growth and cultivating hope through meaningful encounters with otherness. Ultimately, the horizon is depicted not just as a boundary but as an invitation to discover new perspectives and worlds.
