Double Dragon Alliance is also putting together a programme in China, to arrange exchange visits for British, Dutch and American schools, for their students to come to China and in particular Shanghai, for a cultural learning experience.
Our association can offer a variety of activities for the visiting students: including classes in Chinese language; introductions to Chinese culture, including art, calligraphy, Chinese martial arts, Peking Opera, traditional Chinese folk music and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) among others.
Plus, we will arrange sightseeing around local heritage sights, with introductions to the history of the area and its famous landmarks.
Our school exchange programme seeks to unite the two cultures, allowing the students from the countries involved, ample opportunities to interact and exchange information and get to know each other better; through both classroom activities supervised by the local tutors and informal fun activities, like local environmental “clean up” projects in the area and community events and excursions to some of the areas most attractive tourist spots.
We can arrange dormitory or hotel accommodation, according to request and all accommodation provided will meet strict standards of safety and hygiene.
Several of the Chinese schools involved, have already been involved in international exchange programmes and many of their facilities are state of the art “western” designs from the Netherlands and the US.
The wide variety of activities available in Shanghai and China, especially for cultural learning and awareness, and the generosity and hospitality of the local people, will not fail to delight and engage the visiting students; and I can guarantee that once they have experienced China, they will be eager to come again and taste more of the marvels China, and in particular Shanghai and its close neighbouring areas, have to offer.
China is becoming a real hub for both economic and cultural exchange and with its long and fascinating history; it really has an amazing story to offer visitors and learners alike.
The aim of our association is to be able to offer students and tourists a deeper look into the “real” China, and with introductions to some of the top schools and masters of their chosen fields and expert instruction and translation in English, people can gain a genuine understanding of Chinese culture.
Double Dragon Alliance, in conjunction with the British Council in Shanghai, regularly host visits from visitors and students from UK schools and private parties and organizes a wide variety of activities that provide education, art, cultural awareness, fun and friendship for all concerned.
It is our pleasure to provide a forum that gives everyone an opportunity for real cultural exchange and communication that is worthwhile and provides long term benefits for all.
Please contact Rose Oliver to arrange a cultural visit or to discuss in detail the requirements for your particular programme.
We hope that we will soon be able to welcome you and your party to China, so that you too can enjoy this country’s wonderful history, hospitality, delicious food, art and culture.
