Review 2024

After a four-year interruption, the Studierendenwerk Freiburg (SWFR) has revived the German-Chinese student exchange program. 

From 05.08. to 18.08.2024, 14 students from the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) University in Beijing, China, were guests at a summer academy in Freiburg. The program included conversation courses in German, cultural experiences through encounters with Freiburg students, intercultural workshops and excursions in Freiburg and the surrounding area as well as Strasbourg, Stuttgart and Basel. 

From 03.09. to 18.09.2024, 14 Freiburg students visited Beijing and the BIT on a study trip. During the two-week stay, the participants not only visited important Beijing sights such as the Imperial Palace and the Great Wall. The program also allowed them to experience the Chinese language and culture first-hand through language courses and various workshops. The program was accompanied by many participants from the Freiburg Summer Academy, resulting in intensive contact between the Freiburg and Chinese students.
