Sichuan University advocates fostering students’ global vision, intercultural communication skills and social responsibility awareness. In collaboration with the Disaster Management College and Public Health College, Sichuan University has been making great efforts in connecting students with community needs, cultivating community based service learning projects and developing students’ leadership skills. Sichuan University will continue to explore opportunities of different types of service learning projects to strengthen universities’ and students’ social responsibility.

1. INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION AND GLOBAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Intercultural Communication and Global Social Responsibility examine the concepts associated with culture and communication and how this relates to global leadership within local communities. The course will use case studies and problem based learning to analyze intercultural communication situations, and integrate conceptual understanding with “real life” intercultural experiences and observations in leadership. Sichuan University used to host summer schools for the course. Hopefully the summer schools will resume when the situation of pandemic approves.

2. PROMOTION OF GLOBAL HEALTH RESPONSIBILITY AND INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

This is a course that combines workshop and on-site service experience. It provides foundational principles for understanding how to communicate and interact across cultures in promoting sanitation and health, especially for rural children and families.
