During the project’s first review meeting with independent experts in January 2024 in Brussels, the project consortium was recommended to intensify its engagement with youth as one of the project’s key target groups. As a result from follow-up discussions within the team, we are happy to announce a new project activity – “The ReConnect China school visits”!
In the coming months (and continuing in 2025), various project partners will visit secondary schools in their home countries to present the project and – more importantly – to raise the interest of these young learners about China as a fascinating country.
How does it work? ReConnect China experts visit schools, come to a class and engage students in interactive lectures. Different aspects such as China’s society, economy or politics are presented to the young cohort in a suitable format and in a non-scientific language. At the same time, our experts will be closely collaborating with the teachers for the design, content and questions to be discussed with the class. Visits will last for about 45-60mins. The targeted age level of students is between 15-18 years, but our experts are flexible to adapt their visit’s programme also to younger individuals upon request.
Currently the project plans to organise its first school visit in September. Concrete names of potential schools have already been suggested within the team, with whom the respective partners are now getting into contact.
If you are interested to be visited by the ReConnect China project, just get in touch with us. Please write to Mr. Philipp Brugner (brugner[at]zsi.at) and Mr. Gábor Szüdi (szudi[at]zsi.at). We would be delighted to discuss a visit with you!
