Summer camps
The Confucius Institute at the University of Graz sees itself as an ambassador of the Chinese language and culture and serves as a hub between China and Europe. In this role, we invite both students and pupils to experience the fascinating Chinese language firsthand, to apply and deepen their language skills in everyday situations, and to immerse themselves in Chinese culture through our Summer Camps!
Our Summer Camps, which last around two weeks, take place both in China and in Europe and feature special topics. The Summer Camps in China are organized annually as a cooperation between the Confucius Institute at the University of Graz and the partner university Shanghai in China. The Confucius Institute Graz covers the local program and accommodation costs.

Our Summer Camps 2025
In 2025, we are offering two summer camps. One is aimed at students of our language courses with cooperating schools, the second at students of our language courses at the University of Graz and participants of our language courses at cooperating universities. The travel period for both summer camps, including arrival and departure, is expected to be from July 6 to July 19, 2025. Slight deviations are currently still possible.
Applications are now open.
The selection process is the responsibility of the Confucius Institute and takes into account the “first come, first served” principle when the application form is received, a recommendation from the Chinese teachers and the results of completed Chinese exams (YCT, HSK).
