Team up online
The participants teamed up with each other via creative videos and were grouped based on five topics. The seven-day program features both online activities such as expert lectures, group discussion, case study, and literature search, and offline activities which require strict epidemic prevention measures. It will serve as a platform for the participants to learn from each other and play a role in social governance and international anti-epidemic cooperation.
Since its inception in 2014, the "Future Leader, Youth Ambassador" International Youth Summer Camp has been held five times. Through a diverse array of activities such as research projects and social practice, it brings together Chinese and foreign college students, allowing them to get a deeper understanding of China's history and culture and gain a full picture of the achievements China has made in its modernization drive. The program has won wide acclaim from these young participants.
