We at the Confucius Institute at the Ateneo de Manila University are all about spreading knowledge and understanding of Chinese Language and Culture to everyone. And we know that young people have the amazing capacity to learn, appreciate new experiences, and build strong connections with other people. That is why since 2012, we have been giving deserving high school and college students amazing opportunities to visit and study in China through the annual China Summer Camp.
We are looking for 20 excellent Filipino high school and college students aged 15 to 22 years old with basic level Mandarin proficiency to join us on this amazing two-week trip to Beijing and Guangzhou. These students will journey through these cities visiting historical sites and attending classes in Chinese language and culture! Accommodations, tuition fees, food, and tour fees are all for free!
Spend three days in Beijing visiting wonderful historical sites such as the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace!
Then fly to Guangzhou and stay at the prestigious Sun Yat-sen University for two weeks, studying Chinese Language and Culture. We’ll include a city heritage tour too!
