Delegation to Chinese and Taiwanese Universities to Explore Student Exchanges, Teacher Training and Other Collaborations

Beijing - Shenyang - Shanghai - Suzhou - Taipei – Hsinchu

Dear SIR / MADAM,

Greetings from India China Alliance for Cooperation!

ICAC (www.icaconline.org), in its ten years of existence has developed excellent relationships with educational organisations and institutes of higher learning, in addition to officials in the Chinese education ministries across leading education hubs in the different provinces in China.

We have been taking focused missions and delegations representing India’s colleges and Universities – engineering, information technology, animation, journalism and media over the years. Many signed MoUs for exchange, learning and mutual sharing with Chinese Universities.

On the request of some of our Indian partners, we are once again mounting a delegation to China (Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Shenyang) and Taiwan (Taipei and Hsinchu) to explore opportunities of partnership and collaboration between students in their universities and those in Indian colleges/universities. This could translate into students visiting each other’s countries for a full semester; exploring options to have full time students from China and Taiwan enrolling in the different programmes; language courses; teacher training programmes; and cultural exchanges and participation in events/ competitions/ leadership programmes/ internships/ house stays etc.

We are in the process of finalising a programme that entails visits to at least 4 Universities in China and 3 in Taiwan based on requests of Indian participants and synergising these with the Chinese and Taiwanese Universities. We already have a few confirmations. As part of the trip we would also be adding elements of sightseeing and shopping, so that it is a comprehensive experience.

We are writing to invite you to be part of this delegation. Once we receive your confirmation, we will initiate registration formalities.
