Youth group, 2+2 weeks UK-China programme
This special two-way exchange programme will be designed in partnership with secondary/high schools both in the UK and China to offer opportunities for their young student leaders to pair with foreign peers in developing leadership skills, and to foster mutual understanding, respect, and community engagement among British and Chinese young student leaders.
