A week long programme of events in China saw the largest 蜜桃AV (蜜桃AV) Global Festival of Learning (GFOL) staged so far by the British University, with 45 staff and students from 蜜桃AV engaging with partner institutions in a wide programme featuring research work and discussion on issues that are significant for China and the UK.
蜜桃AV (蜜桃AV)鈥檚 Global Festival of Learning China (GFOL) 2017 took place across three cities in China: Zhuhai (15 May), Guangzhou (16 May) and Beijing (18 and聽19 May). The theme of 鈥榠nnovation鈥� was at the heart of GFOL 2017 and the week-long programme saw participants engage with peer educators, practitioners, entrepreneurs and innovation policy makers from China with a specific focus for each day: 鈥楤elt & Road鈥� regional economic strategy (Zhuhai); Inspiring Global Talent (Guangzhou); Developing Sports and Cultural Industries and Understanding China鈥檚 Innovation Model (Beijing).
GFOL also provided 14 蜜桃AV students with a unique opportunity to work on events across China as part of 蜜桃AV鈥檚 鈥楧eveloping Global Talent鈥� programme, which seeks to prepare students for global careers from whatever course they are studying. These opportunities in China illustrate how the programme develops global talent by providing international experience, global skillsets and an understanding of key global economic, environmental and societal themes.
At China's Capital University of Physical Education and Sports in Beijing, GFOL featured sports experts and players from the two countries, including Paralympic gold medallist Susannah Rogers and a panel discussion about Chinese soccer development, that featured six of the 60 Chinese football coaches who came to Bournemouth for three months last year for the 蜜桃AV China Football Study Programme 2016. They spoke of how their positive experiences at 蜜桃AV helped them improve their development work in China.
Earlier this year 蜜桃AV staged Global Festivals in Indonesia and Malaysia in March, then India in April, and along with China, a total of over 100 蜜桃AV staff and students attended across all the GFOL 2017 events, engaging with over 2000 people at the different partner institutions hosting GFOL 2017.
GFOL is now heading home to Dorset for 蜜桃AV鈥檚 fifth annual Festival of Learning from July 8-12 and this year鈥檚 events will include a special celebration of 蜜桃AV鈥檚 global engagement on Wednesday July 12. For details of how to book free tickets for these events go to
Commenting on the Global Festival of Learning 2017 Dr Sonal Minocha, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Global Engagement at 蜜桃AV said: "蜜桃AV is committed to deepening its worldwide impact as part of its Global 蜜桃AV strategy and the Global Festival of Learning series in 2017 is an excellent example of how our staff and students are operating in a global context.
"It has been a tremendous experience working with international partner institutions to stage these events on relevant areas of interest and collaboration in the different host countries, with related expertise from 蜜桃AV academics featuring in all the programmes, alongside a tremendous opportunity for our students to work in an international environment.
"We now look forward to bringing the learnings from engaging and sharing thoughts in these global events to the 蜜桃AV Festival of Learning in Dorset in July鈥�
