2024 “Global Youth Leadership” Summer Camp

Xi’an Jiaotong University

University Alliance of the Silk Road

Summer Camp Introduction

In January 2015, Xian Jiaotong University (XJTU) initiated the University Alliance of Silk Road
(UASR) together with its partner universities. This alliance is committed to providing effective
solutions for human development, and has become an important cooperation platform for cultural
and educational exchanges, as well as for talent development along the Silk Road routes.
Based on the alliance, XJTU organizes 2024 summer camp to provide a platform for students from
around the world who would like to learn about traditional Chinese culture and its modern
development.
The summer camp’s programme primarily includes Chinese language courses, academic
lectures, visits to enterprises, Chinese cultural activities, and opportunities for interaction with both
domestic Chinese and international students on campus. Through these activities, participants can
deepen their understanding of Chinese Culture, gain insights into various academic topics, and make
international connections. It is hoped that the knowledge and skills acquired in the summer camp will
be valuable throughout the lives of the participants.
