"Xperience Holland Day" at Tsinghua University
The "Xperience Holland Day" at Tsinghua University was held in the School of Environment on March 25th, attended by Ms. Jet Bussemaker, the Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science and Tsinghua University President Chen Jining.
Speaking about the Xperience Holland Day, Ms. Bussemaker said, "This is a great event that gives the Chinese more opportunities to learn about the universities we have in the Netherlands."
It featured information booths on study in Holland as well as on its food, language and culture, and screenings of Dutch films and documentaries. These activities provided a platform for Dutch people and universities to interact with the Tsinghua community.
"We firmly believe that interaction among the younger generation will help to bridge cultural gaps and address the common global challenges we are facing today," said President Chen. He noted that the university has established close academic links with many prestige counterparts worldwide, including those in the Netherlands.
