On 22 April, led by the Department of general Studies and Student Affairs Department, SUCC organised the visiting teachers and students of Kashgar Polytechnic Vocational and Technical College and the Laos international students to go to Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Polytechnic to carry out exchange activities.

    Our teachers and students were warmly welcomed and received by Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Polytechnic, and visited the Intelligent Networked Automobile Training Center and Model Worker Style Exhibition Hall, to understand the modern teaching scene of the cutting-edge industry of vocational education and to deeply understand the kernel of craftsmanship in the new era; and had a talk with representatives of Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Polytechnic ’s teachers and students to start a dialogue with the story of success, and to share the feelings and harvests of their respective study and work and life in Shanghai. They shared their feelings and harvests of studying, working and living in Shanghai. Under the guidance of non-hereditary artists, they experienced the creation of non-hereditary skills such as beadwork, tie-dyeing, jewellery-dotting and buckling, so as to enhance understanding and deepen the national friendship in the cultural infiltration. At the end of the activity, they planted a‘friendship tree’symbolising unity and collaboration.

    This exchange activity is a vivid practice of ‘vocational and popularisation integration, industry-education fusion, science-education fusion’. By building a collaborative mechanism of ‘technology co-research, talent co-education and culture communion’, it not only explores a new mode of inter-regional linkage for the high-quality development of vocational education, but also builds a bridge of skills and culture as a medium, and creates a new model for the development of vocational education. By building a collaborative mechanism of ‘technology co-development, talent co-education and cultural integration’, it not only explores a new mode of inter-regional linkage for the high-quality development of vocational education, but also builds a bridge between the East and West and China-Laos exchanges by using skills and culture as media.
