 The 5th Green Summer Camp under Cross-Strait Green University Consortium

The 5th Green Summer Camp, hosted by Nanjing University (NJU) and co-organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Taiwan Central University (NCU), was held from 14 to 20 July 2015 in Nanjing. A total of 38 students from the 3 universities participated in the programme.

Participating students visited Nanjing, Changshu and Suzhou during the 7-day camp, and joined field trips to green sites comprising ecological farms, wetland parks and watery towns. They also attended a series of talks and seminars where they met with relevant academic members to share opinions on issues relating to climatic change, green building designs, wetland management and sustainable development. Students with diverse cultures and backgrounds had the opportunity to interact actively and share experience in environmental protection, inspiring green ideas and next implementing them. Some of the projects were videos on green education, streets and tour spots cleaning, flash mobs and sharing in local community. The camp not only enhanced the awareness of environmental protection among the participating students, but also fostered linkages and relationships among the 3 universities.

The Green Summer Camp was one of the student programs developed under Cross-Strait Green University Consortium which was established among CUHK, NJU and NCU in 2011. The 3 universities take turns to organize the camp for students to enhance understanding of environmental protection and sustainable development, promote positive values toward green issues and advocate the message of applying green concepts into daily lives and in society.
