1. China Project 2001
The Year 2001 China Project for students has been completed with a great success. Two groups of a total of 32 students, selected from high schools in New York City and adjacent areas, spent three weeks in The People's Republic of China. Prior to the trip, a series of pre-departure study sessions between March and June were organized for the selected students to prepare them intellectually for the trip.

After studying Chinese history, culture and language in classrooms at Beijing University and visiting historical sites in and around Beijing, students went on their journey. They traveled to Luoyang, Xi'an and Hohhot to further explore the Buddhist Caves built during the 4th and 10th century AD, the Shaolin Buddhist Monastery where Zen Buddhism was originated, the 2nd c. CE terra-cotta soldiers at the tomb of the First Emperor of China, and the grassland where Mongolian people made their homes. Along with discovering history of China, students came to realize the diversity of Chinese culture, society and people, and to understand the complexity of China that is both from traditional and modern.

As a conclusion of their participation in the program, students have prepared and presented their projects which they are going to present in their schools in order to increase the awareness of the world on the other side of the globe among New York high school students. Some examples of student comments and work can be found on our web site.
