The Chinese- Austrian Eu Summerschool was wonderful! I have improved my “foreign languages, and learnt more about the European culture, especially the reli- gious culture. I have also made a lot of friends in the group. ”

I think the summer school is exceptional. I have learnt many things such as “interpersonal skills and have gained more confidence in facing challenges. ”

I guess I had never tried to know so much about another country besides China “before the summer school. Now I think I know Austria better and I really like it. I really enjoyed the experience in Europe. ” EURASIA_PACIFIC_UNINET G_10 G_11 ANNUAL_REPORT_2009 SUMMER_SCHOOLS SUMMER_SCHOOLS
