The meticulous polishing process helped all students comprehend the virtues of perseverance and dedication deeply rooted in Chinese culture.

此次四大主题实训活动，以沉浸式、互动式体验为载体，既让参与的同学们深入了解节气、民俗、非遗、语言等中华传统文化精髓，也为中外学生创造了多元交流空间。本次实训活动的目的是希望通过营造学习中国传统文化的契机和实践场地，让中国学生有机会向来华留学生讲解中国文化，让来华留学生有机会近距离体验中国文化。我们希望，此次活动能够在悉商的中外同学心中撒下种子，以期他们未来为中国高水平开放和文化输出贡献力量。

Adopting immersive and interactive forms, this series of training activities enabled international students to get a thorough understanding of traditional Chinese culture ranging from solar terms and folk customs to intangible cultural heritage and the Chinese language. It also provided a diverse platform for exchanges between students from all cultural backgrounds. The underlying purpose is to create opportunities and practical platforms for learning traditional Chinese culture. This allows Chinese students to try explaining Chinese culture to their international classmates studying in China, while giving international students a chance to experience Chinese culture up close. By planting seeds in the hearts of both Chinese and International students—all members of the SILC community—it aims to nurture future contributors to China’s high-level opening-up and cultural export efforts.
