From June 1 to 11, the Jiangsu Education Association for International Exchange hosted an exchange program for students from two primary schools in Nanjing. The delegation traveled to partner schools in the United Kingdom, including Colne Engaine Church of England Primary School and St Andrew's Primary School in Weeley, Essex.

During their visit, the Chinese students and teachers engaged in a variety of activities, such as art, music, and physical education lessons. In turn, the Chinese students taught their British counterparts Chinese language and calligraphy classes, providing a glimpse into Chinese culture.
