Start of the ReConnect China school visits in September

11. Jul. 2024

Increasing the engagement with European youth

During the first review meeting of the ReConnect China project 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, the project is happy to announce a new 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 young students about China.

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, 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 target age level of students is between 15-18 years, but experts are flexible to adapt their visit’s programme also to younger individuals if wished.

So far, the project team made suggestions for schools in Rotterdam/NL, Aalst/BE, Stockholm/SE, Turku/FI, and Vienna/AT.

If you are interested in a visit for your school, 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!
