To help the six selected students from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) and Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB) gain a better understanding on Chinese culture and history, Huawei has arranged a tour for them to visit some historical attraction areas, such as the Great Wall of China and Summer Palace in Beijing.
After the opening ceremony, they will also be taking part in Chinese language classes over four days at the School of Continuing Education, Beijing Language and Culture University.
In addition to providing exposure, the classes will cover comprehensive Chinese, painting and calligraphy, among others.
The students will also go to the Shenzhen Huawei headquarters for a week of training courses in the telecommunication sector.
The fully funded, two-week ‘Seed For Future Programme’ and trip will run until May 28.
