More details on the Field School.

I hear only Camosun people can use the link I provided in my first post so here is the info:

China 2018 Faculty and Staff Field School

Chinese students represent the highest percentage of Camosun College’s international student population. With a growing number of Chinese learners on campus, understanding the academic and cultural challenges international students face will help support student success at Camosun.

Experience a Camosun field school for yourself! This unique two-week field school will explore education and culture in China and is open to Camosun College faculty and staff only.

Travel to the cities of Baotou and Xuzhou and engage with local faculty, staff, and students. This field school will provide insight into education and learning in China through workshops, excursions, cultural exchanges, and more. You will visit educational institutions and participate in seminars and workshops to support resource sharing between institutions. Discover various Chinese learning models and explore how cultures and traditions shape learning styles. Discuss the challenges and opportunities Chinese and international students face transitioning to a Canadian educational system and lifestyle. No Chinese language knowledge is required.
