Summer Study Trip to China

Over the summer, the Confucius Institute organizes a study trip to China for high school teachers and students who participated in the STARTALK Chinese Language and Culture Summer Program. This experience offers American teachers and students the opportunity to explore in person the rich history, extensive culture, and dynamic economy of China.

The 2-week study trip features visits to historical and cultural landmarks such as the Great Wall and Forbidden City, tours of the beautiful natural landscapes throughout China, and explorations of daily life including visits to local schools.

The travelers are responsible for the cost of the plane fare, visa application expenses, international insurance, program fee, and air travel within China, if applicable. The food, lodging, and domestic land transportation in China will be funded by the Confucius Institute headquarters in Beijing.
