2008 China Summer School

Participants:

CERIUM is an excellent choice for international students to enrich themselves with high quality professors while experiencing the vibrant city of Montreal.
 Joey Edwards – California State University, Long Beach

An excellent overview in such a short period of time. Even with my many travels to Asia over the years, I have learned during lectures new information which I am certain, I will be able to apply in my work.

2007 China Summer School

Interveners:

In a relaxed yet serious atmosphere, we learn to understand and better judge China. Indispensable for those wanting to visit or study this country, this week is equally useful for those who know, or think they know, this vast country.
 Francesca Cini, sinologist and former coordinator for China at Amnesty International

Difficult to imagine a better way to acquaint oneself with China than this intensive week of conferences and debates: pure condensed information.
 Pierre Haski, former correspondent for Libération in China and founder of the Children of Ningxia Association

I would like to congratulate CERIUM on this project and for the professionalism with which the summer schools are led, particularly the seminar on China. It is a cutting edge undertaking which meets a pressing need. It demonstrates the University of Montreal’s dynamism as well as its understanding of international issues. On a personal level, this opportunity for discussion with colleagues for whom I have tremendous respect is very enriching.
 Gervais Lavoie, CEO Fruits & Passion – China Limited

CERIUM’s summer schools on China offer a unique opportunity for encounters and discussions. They bring together stakeholders from every field and background, with different levels of knowledge and a broad variety of motivations and career paths.
 Lynda Dumais, Moreault Associates, head of the Shanghai office

It is a wonderful discovery. In such a short time my knowledge of China went from zero to a desire to know this country thoroughly.
 Richard Gilbert, teacher, CÉGEP Limoilou

An in-depth look at China - yesterday, today and tomorrow.
