It consists in organizing joint camp shifts for young people to get acquainted with culture, science and technology, history and education of our two countries.

It is possible to develop an exchange program between students for one semester. Short-term programs in history, culture and technology are still available for international students. Shanxi universities annually accept students from all over the world to participate in such programs. We are also considering the exchange of teachers within the framework of cooperation».
