A total of 40 teachers and students participated in the two-week online course, including 12 undergraduates from six schools at YNU.

During the activity, with interactive teaching in English, teachers from the four countries focused on culture, traditional medicine and health, global sustainable development, tea culture, and food culture.

Through online lectures, virtual cultural experiences, and group seminars, students learned a lot and experienced the importance of international communication and teamwork.

After two weeks of interesting and fast-paced learning, students from each school gave group presentations on cultural issues and how to solve them.

The ten groups of students approached the topic from different angles and discussed in depth cultural issues of concern, while teachers and students asked questions and held lively discussions after each presentation.
