Discover China Application

Commitment to Engagement & Content Creation

As a delegate, you are a storyteller for the program. To ensure we capture the experience, we have a minimum baseline for content deliverables. All delegates must submit:

​

  • Two (2) written journal reflections (one during the trip, one post-trip).

  • One (1) high-quality photo or video essays (documenting matters such as daily life, youth perspectives, modernization or any subject of interest)

​

Note: We welcome and encourage creativity! If you prefer to create special video, art, or social media content, we can replace the standard requirements with a custom project. You are welcome to propose this now or discuss it with us after you are selected. 

Commitment to the Group

This program requires moving a large group through a busy itinerary. Punctuality and cooperation are safety requirements, not just suggestions.
