Meet the SDC Cohort 2024 – Ready to Leave for China
Meet the SDC Cohort 2024 – Ready to Leave for China
“It’s been really exciting to meet all the people we’ll be living with for the next year. Putting faces to the names has been really important to me, so you can show up in a completely new place [in China], where you’ve never been before, and at least know that you’ll see some people you know on some level,' says Ellen Lauersen.
Ellen is going to study Public Management and Social Development and has attended the pre departure seminar in Denmark.
Every year, SDC arranges a 24-hour seminar for Danish and international students to prepare them for the opportunities and challenges that await them in China. An important part of the seminar is allowing the students to begin their journey together before they board the plane.
The two days have been a mix of social activities, a crash course in Chinese, an introduction to Chinese student life, and a chance to get any final questions answered.
