Summer School

the 7th Silk Road International Summer Camp

Under the Belt and Road Initiative, the 7th Silk Road International Summer Camp for College Students, hosted by the Xi’an Municipal Education Bureau and organized by Xi’an University, will be held in Xi’an, China from July 1 to July 7. Centered on the overarching theme“The Starting Point of the Silk Road: Living with World Heritage”, the Summer Camp blends collective cultural field visits with team-based thematic research, featuring seven distinctive research routes. Participants will explore contemporary pathways for heritage to thrive in today’s world through multiple lenses and lived, on-the-ground inquiry. Over seven immersive days, the Summer Camp offers not only an in-depth cultural heritage journey, but also a vibrant platform for cross-cultural exchange and co-creation. We warmly invite university students from around the world to join us in Xi’an—the starting point of the Silk Road—and co-write a new chapter of heritage symbiosis for the youth generation.
