  • Building critical China expertise

    In a recent article in The Knowledge, Roy Truex, Assistant Professor at Princeton University’s Department of Politics, is quoted as saying, “the vast majority of PhD candidates for Chinese politics are Chinese themselves, and very few are American.” He continues,

    To compete with Beijing, “we must do more than invest in weapons and semiconductors. We must invest in understanding.”

    Roy Truex, quoted in The Washington Post

    Here at Engage with China we are proud to be ahead of the curve in the UK on doing just this. Since 2018, the mission of this charity is to educate young people in the UK about the relevance, rise, innovation, impact, influence and culture of China on the rest of the world through immersive, engaging and fun curriculum enrichment activities, mandarin language learning, summer camps and partnerships. 

    Through fresh knowledge & interactive programmes in the classroom pupils learn about China’s size, culture, modernisation and global links. It does this through China Challenge Days,’ annual, global Model United Nations climate-change Conference, cross-cultural initiatives and our EwC Scholarship Programme.

    Our inaugural cohort of British 16-year old scholars on our EwC Scholarship Programme at Wycombe Abbey School, Changzhou, China, is a critical part of our national infrastructure to attract creative thinkers, build ambassadors and develop global citizens who understand China.

    Whatever one’s opinion of China, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on all our lives. EwC addresses a huge gap in China capabilities building a pipeline of future ambassadors who understand it better.

    EwC was founded in 2018 by two British educational entrepreneurs who have studied, worked and lived in China over the last 30+ years. To date, the charity has enabled more than 3,500 pupils across the UK to encounter China for themselves.
