INTRO Gotoco China runs an award-winning summer camp cultural exchange programme, giving university students from the ‘West’ a completely free and funded opportunity to visit China for summer camp cultural exchange and work-travel placements. Similar to AIESEC but focused purely on China and cultural exchange, Gotoco’s project has been recognised by the United Nations and British Chamber of Commerce in China in their recent
China Social Impact Awards for their contributions to Community and Culture. 1,500 students have joined Gotoco programmes so far and the number for 2020 intake is expected to be 1,000. The programme was established by two Fung scholars and a friend they met during their Fung foundation-funded year of study at Peking University. Please find a Q&A with their co-founder, Richard Lloyd, (FS12/13, 15/16, University of Oxford), below.
