True Education Partnerships have carefully designed a programme that enables students to become immersed in China’s culture and interact with their peers, right from the comfort of their own home.
Pioneering a bold and visionary approach to immersive learning, True Education Partnerships (TEP) has been delivering transformational education experiences since 2011.
We understand that the current obstacles for foreign travel have provided students with limited access to unique learning opportunities. As the future of education shifts to online learning, we have developed an online immersive experience for students.
The China Online Immersion programme offers a digital exploration of China using live, interactive and pre-recorded footage, tailored to enrich and stimulate student learning. This programme is an extension of our online immersion offer, enabling more pupils to engage with live student interaction with peers in China.
China’s ancient and modern history provides endless discoveries for camp participants. During this programme, students will participate in cultural activities and join virtual tours of Chengdu’s biggest landmarks – most famous for its giant pandas! Each itinerary has been carefully designed to create a pioneering multiplatform approach of online and offline learning and engagement.
This programme will be running w/c 22nd March 2021, w/c 19th April 2021 during term time and w/c 12th April 2021 for a holiday time.
The pandemic has rocked the world and has meant that the freedoms I had as a student to travel and immerse in China’s fabulous culture has been taken away. It was those experiences that changed my life and my future forever, for me not being able to share this opportunity of a transformation was not acceptable, so we as a team have worked for 8 months building what is possibly the greatest online immersive China programme available in the UK.
I am over the moon to be able to bring the amazing life changes experiences of our immersive exchanges into an online environment. Your children will still be able to immerse, learn, interact and grow as people all from the comfort of your classroom or home.
I am excited to share this revolutionary new way of learning with you all and commend your schools’ participation in making this dream a reality.
China is a diverse and fascinating country with a rich history of over 3,000 years. Schools are able to select their preferred itinerary and dates to run the programme.
Once participants are set up, they will be able to begin the camp following a welcome from their host. Each day the host will take the students around some of the city's biggest heritage attractions.
This unique learning opportunity enables participants to explore China's ancient and modern history, participate in Spring Festival celebrations and directly connect with Chinese students by experiencing a typical day in the life at their school.
