Andrea (China 2012) - Student
It has been a truely an enriching learning experience. The course was well organized.

Paolo e Mària (Cina 2011) - Tutor
It was wonderful taking our students to China and being part of this extraordinary experience of their life.... Our group of students were very enthusias c, open-minded in
understanding about the Chinese culture and apprecia ng the differences. We both had
been to China before. Yet, looking at China through the eyes of our students has helped
us broaden our perspec ves. They have given us new emo ons, making this experience
truly wonderful.
