A unique cultural exchange event for young people from China and abroad was held at the Jinan Youth Palace in Jinan on July 13 as a highlight of the 2024 Global Youth Conference and China-US Youth Camp.

The event attracted enthusiastic young people from countries such as the United States and Romania.

The event consisted of four parts, during which the young people enjoyed an impressive martial arts demonstration, were captivated by performances of traditional Chinese musical instruments such as the erhu and guzheng, and tried their hands at Chinese calligraphy and paper-cutting.

Through these activities, the participating youths gained an appreciation for the unique charm and essence of Chinese culture. The event fostered interaction and exchange in the fields of culture and education, promoting cultural integration and cooperation.

It also served as a valuable platform for young people from China and abroad. By engaging in and experiencing the activities firsthand, participants broadened their horizons and injected new vitality into international cultural exchange and cooperation.
