FOR UNIVERSITIES & EDUCATORS
A Shenzhen visit that belongs in your course.
Bring a question from the classroom into the city. We work with programme leaders to plan local learning visits, coordinate local arrangements and make space for reflection.
START WITH THE PURPOSE
What should your students be able to discuss after the visit?
Start with the course theme and your students’ background. A business class might compare operating models; a design group might examine how products move from an idea to everyday use. The same city can support different questions.
Your institution sets the academic objectives, assessment and student responsibilities. Together, we agree which local activities and materials can support those objectives.
A learning brief
Share the course context, participant background, dates and the questions you want the visit to explore.
Connected activities
Select a manageable mix of public experiences, district observations and separately confirmed hosted sessions.
Time to compare
Include discussion and observation tasks rather than filling every hour with another stop. Agree who facilitates each session.
Practical coordination
Set out group movements, meeting points, language roles and responsibilities before the programme is confirmed.
A SAMPLE FORMAT
One day within a wider China programme.
Use Shenzhen as a focused module: introduce an observation question, explore selected technology applications, and close with a comparison discussion led by your teacher or an agreed facilitator.
