About the International Youth Exchange Project

The International Youth Exchange Project (hereinafter the Project), initiated by the China Daily website, is aimed to boost better understandings between young people in China and the international communities through intensive exchange programs in the fields of science, technology, arts, business, environmental protection and so on.

In practice, we will host an online contest featuring a certain subjects based on the students' interest and partners' suggestions. After rounds of competitions, the finalists will be selected and offered an opportunity to participate in the overseas exchange project.

The Project, built on learning and sharing, will help participants broaden their horizons, enrich their experiences and identify their higher education or career choices. Meanwhile, the Project helps our partners to raise their profile in China.
