On 14th November, DDA were invited by Ms. Felix Giron, of the Alliance for Global Education,?a non-profit
partnership of Arcadia University and Butler University’s study abroad?colleges,?to again provide an activity
introducing Chinese?culture to their group of American students?taking part in their joint social and language
programme?with Fudan University.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
?The students taking part in this programme are enrolled in an exclusive and intensive language
programme and area studies courses here in Shanghai, which require the students to learn Chinese
and participate in a variety of cultural activities and other projects, designed to give them a better
understanding of China, Chinese culture and society.
?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
?DDA, again in cooperation with Dr Li Yong’s Conjoint Health Advisory Service,?organized an interactive
workshop introducing Traditional Chinese Medicine’s philosophy, treatment?methodology, acupuncture
and tuina massage.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
??Dr. Li, a regular cooperator with DDA and partner in their joint TCM internship programme, introduced
the group of students and their teachers to TCM’s approach to health, diagnostics and treatment,
in addition to its differences to western medicine’s approaches to illness; answered questions from the
guests related to general overall health, in addition to their own health concerns and ailments; taught
them some commonly used massage techniques and acupressure points to relieve a variety of disorders
and conditions, as well as providing treatments to some of the guests.
