UK-China Student Workshop

Date: Thursday 20th February 10 am to 3 pm pm

Venue: Maida Hill Place, 2-4 Fernhead Road, London W9 3ET

Nearest tube: Westbourne Park

Here is your chance to work closely within teams of Chinese and UK students to develop a business idea that addresses social and environmental problems.

The British Council and Red Ochre have teamed up with China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF), a leading Chinese Foundation and a number of Chinese universities* to put together a session for visiting students from China to work closely with UK students.

We are looking for entrepreneurial undergraduate and post-graduate students to take part in the day.

The day will look like:

• Introductions – to the day and programme
• Brainstorming on the topic, or range of problems (social and/or environmental)
• Work within mixed groups of UK and China-based students to develop a solution/project/pilot programme that incorporates both China and the UK
• Each group presents their solution
• Prizes awarded!

In addition, there will be follow-up support available for those wishing to pursue their ideas further in the form of webinars and telepresence conferencing and facilitated brain trusts.

Other forms of support may also be available.
