Shanghai Here I Come...

I have been given an amazing opportunity and I am so excited; I am off to Shanghai in a few weeks. This trip, consisting of 100 Cultural and Creative leaders was part of an exchange programme of 400 British and 400 Chinese young people (!), supported by Prime Ministers of both countries.

The UK-China 400 programme looks to inspire and motivate people in China and the UK to develop themselves as global citizens; who are potentially mobile, and may aspire to international education and employment; who are interested in and understand other cultures; and who engage in debate and collaborate with others locally and internationally on key issues facing the world.

The programmes Key Objectives are;

- to broaden the international perspective of young leaders

- to change perceptions of young people in both countries

- to develop existing and new community links between the two countries

- to meet the personal and professional objectives of the individual participants

I don’t know too much about the programme yet but I will be using this blog to reflect on my experiences.

This is going to be amazing…
