The 2025 "Embrace China·Chinese Roots Seeking Journey" Summer Camp — including the Charm of Lingnan: Smart Innovation Tech Camp and Charm of Lingnan: Encountering the Lion Dance Camp — will officially open at 9:30 a.m. on July 10 at the Sports Hall of the College of Chinese Language and Culture, Jinan University.
This year's camp has attracted nearly 120 young participants of Chinese descent from countries and regions including France, Hungary, Fiji, the UK, Thailand, the US, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Hong Kong, Russia, and Switzerland. Over the course of several days, they will engage in immersive experiences that blend Lingnan cultural heritage with the technological innovation of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The Smart Innovation Tech Camp focuses on creative interactions with intangible cultural heritage such as Cantonese opera, dragon boat traditions, and olive pit carving, while introducing participants to cutting-edge technologies and elements of the upcoming 15th National Games. Meanwhile, the Encountering the Lion Dance Camp centers on traditional practices like lion and dragon dances and pottery making, offering a platform for cross-cultural youth exchange and exploring how technology can help revitalize traditional culture.
