Summer classes give kids chance to chase dreams
Print Edition
THIS summer, the Shanghai Education Commission is opening dozens of vocational schools to the public for free and launching various vocational experiences and training events to enrich life for local children. Whether kids are dreaming to be a news reporter or a dance star on stage, these schools could become their first step on that journey.
Last week we introduced three vocational schools, and here we bring three more. Expat children can apply for these free activities, as well. There is no language service on site, so expats are urged to come with a friend or parent who can speak Chinese to do the interpretation.
Experiencing TV station
In childhood, many have imagined interviewing a big star in a television studio or sitting in front of the desk to deliver the latest news.
This summer, such dreams might come true at the radio and television station of the Shanghai Urban Construction Engineering School. Here visitors will learn how to produce a short television video, take a tour to the TV studio, experience being host of a news program and learn how to use the camera.
