The world is a classroom

Lille, France

This exchange allowed me to experience diverse learning experiences and also had a profound impact on my worldview. Europe has a long history and rich cultures, with world-renowned architecture and landmarks everywhere. During my journey, I had the opportunity to visit famous buildings such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum in Rome, which demonstrate architectural talent, imagination and creativity. Through speaking with people from different countries, I learned about their local traditions and values: valuable knowledge that I would not be able to gain from books alone. Thanks to this experience, I will continue to maintain my curiosity for new things and the spirit to explore the world!

Manchester, United Kingdom

My exchange experience in Manchester broadened my international perspective, while also helping to cultivate my independent thinking and life skills. There, I learned to face each day with optimism and a positive attitude. I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying in the UK, where my classmates were very focused and actively engaged in the classroom. The most memorable experience for me was participating in a course that involved coaching members of the community in sports activities. This course taught me how to provide sports coaching to different groups in society, including children, adults, and people with disabilities. These experiences have enriched and enhanced my teaching skills.

I was delighted to make friends from all over the world during the exchange, and I still keep in touch with them through social media.

Shanghai, China

This trip greatly enhanced my language and interpersonal communication skills, and it also gave me the opportunity to engage in profound conversations with people from different backgrounds and cultures. By sharing our perspectives and exchanging cultural values, I felt that cross-cultural communication was not just about language communication, but also involved a deeper level of spiritual exchange. It has helped me understand how to be more inclusive and appreciate diverse cultures. This open attitude will help me better adapt to new environments in the future and build positive relationships with others.
