About Business China Youth Knowledge Programme
The Business China Youth Knowledge Programme (BCYK), is a brand-new Singapore-China knowledge programme curated by Business China in 2024. It is targeted at JC students who are exempted from taking H1 Chinese in JC.
The programme consists of different modules which will include (i) knowledge on Singapore and China in various aspects, (ii) corporate visits to renowned companies, as well as (iii) language and cultural exposure.
You can expect interesting content, fun activities, and experiential learning as you deepen your understanding of the historical, cultural, political, social, and economic aspects of Singapore and China, while enhancing your Chinese language abilities.
Programme Objectives:
- Cultivate and heighten interest in the Chinese language, culture, and history, as well as Singapore-China affairs amongst JC youths.
- Nurture a more diverse group of bilingual and bicultural youths familiar with China.
Close to 50 students from different schools took part in the inaugural run (in May 2024) where they learnt about Chinese history, culture, politics, etc. and visited attractions such as Ee Hoe Hean Club and Grassroots Book Room. Tips and tricks on how to produce short videos to market products related to Singapore were also shared during the 3 day course.
