The Summer Camp featured a rich mix of academic, cultural, and networking activities aimed at deepening mutual understanding and fostering lasting friendships among the youth of the three countries. The program began with welcome activities and cultural sports exchanges at Qingdao University, setting a warm and engaging tone for the days ahead.
On July 12, the academic sessions featured a lecture titled “Trilateral Cooperation for the Future” delivered by the TCS, followed by student presentations on their personal experiences with cross-cultural exchange. These sessions fostered meaningful dialogue and reflection on shared regional values and the future of trilateral cooperation.
The 2025 China-Japan-ROK Friendship Cities College Student Summer Camp served as a valuable platform for promoting local government exchanges and strengthening people-to-people ties.
