Seminar Tour
This is an invitation-only program. Those chosen
will be given a chance to a) give one or more seminars or lectures
at a Chinese university or college, b) attend classes or seminars
on Chinese culture and history, and, if you wish, c) engage
in some carefully selected sightseeing. .Our specialty lies
in making connections between you and the next generation of
Chinese leaders.
SELECTION PROCESS: One of the most unusual aspects of the
Seminar Tour is that we have a review process for tourists
interested in this unique program. We select tourists who will
benefit most from our services and who will help us maintain
our impeccable reputation with the universities that will serve
as your host. Thus, if you are interested in our service, we
ask for the following:
a. Your areas of interest and topics that you might be interested
in speaking about at a Chinese University
b. A 15-minute telephone interview with one of our staff.
On the basis of this preliminary information, we will provide
a list of topics on which you might organize a seminar or give
a lecture. The final selection will be based on your preparation
of an essay on the topic you have chosen.
APPROPRIATE
TOPICS: There are hundreds of topics that will
interest a Chinese audience. For example, unusual or little
known aspects s of Western life and culture are always popular.
The following are some general themes around which you may
want to develop a seminar or engage in a discussion with your
Chinese audience. We would like to know other topics that you
would like to speak about.
My career goals, accomplishments and challenges
My educational experiences – positive and negative

Western cultural traditions – what I like most and like
