Building China literacy and capabilities in UK schools
We’re here to awaken China curiosity and build a generation of young people in the UK who understand more about China. Why? Because China is shaping the world in which young people will live and work. From EV and robotics to climate change solutions and AI, China’s influence is increasingly visible across our daily lives. Young people have started to talk about China.
Working in UK schools, our vision is to take pupils on a fun, educational journey of discovery so that they can be at the heart of those new conversations – through hands-on activities and insights into China’s culture, language, history, inventions, innovation and diversity.
– We stretch horizons through our in-classroom China Challenge Days
– We enable direct engagement with Chinese pupils through our Model UN Conference
– We bring Chinese culture alive through our Chinese New Year Celebrations
– We provide immersive cultural and language experiences through our 6th form Scholarships
What we do
