Do you want to organize a large-scale event but never had the opportunity to do so because you were not part of a student society? This year we are bringing to you the Chinese-European Partnership for Development, a joint-university study trip organized with Peking University 北京大学 (China) and Warsaw School of Economics (Poland)
The objective of this trip is to increase understanding and awareness
of the different countries through three aspects – politics, economics and culture. This will be achieved through visits to critical political and financial institutions, visits to global, reputable firms and also lectures from esteemed university professors. The two phases for this trip are:
25 March – 4 April (Poland and Germany) AND
10 – 21 September (Hong Kong and China)
Besides going on both study trips, you will also have the opportunity to plan it yourself! Participants will be involved in the detailed planning of the Hong Kong and China phase. The highlights of last year’s program are as follows:
