28 PSU students from various faculties and campuses, accompanied by staff from the PSU International Affairs Office, visited two universities in P.R. China under the annual Cultural Exchange Program, from 19 May to 29 June 2019. The first group of 12 students visited Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT) in Guangdong Province from 19 to 31 May, while the second group visited Jiangxi University of Science and Technology (JXUST) in Jiangxi Province from 16 to 30 June.
This program is one of the activities organized annually by the PSU International Affairs Office with our partner universities in P.R. China, in order to encourage our students to step out of their comfort zone and learn to live harmoniously with people of different cultural backgrounds, and to raise their multicultural awareness.
During their visit, PSU students were accompanied by Chinese buddies and had a great opportunity to learn about unique Chinese arts and culture, and to visit historical places and popular tourist attractions. The highlight of this activity was the Cultural Exchange Night, featuring wonderful performances by the students from PSU and partner universities, attracting a large audience.
Sharing memorable moments together for almost two weeks encouraged our students to gradually develop a strong network of friendship with their Chinese buddies, and promote a better understanding about different cultures and ways of life.
