The students who attended the summer school of last year gave us a good feedback, and we are also learning from the management experience, hoping that the students this year could not only learn more about the Chinese culture and society, but also be an ambassador between our two countries.

This summer school program will last for one month. The international students will learn Chinese language and take the lectures of Chinese culture and tradition, economy, legal system, etc. Besides, they will also have the cultural experience activities on the weekends.
