Summer camps
The Confucius Institute at the University of Graz is an ambassador for the Chinese language and culture and a hub between China and Europe. In this function, we invite students and pupils to encounter the fascinating Chinese language on site, to use and deepen the language skills they have learnt in everyday life and to experience Chinese culture at first hand through our summer camps! We organise Summer Camps in China and Summer Camps in Europe.
They last around two weeks and focus on specific topics each year. The programme and accommodation costs on site are covered by the Confucius Institute Graz.
Our Summer Camps 2026
We are offering two Summer Camps in 2026. 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 expected travel period for both summer camps in July 2026:
- Beijing and Wenzhou: 11–25 July 2026
- Beijing and Shanghai: 12–26 July 2026
The application period for both summer camps is expected to begin in the second half of March. Further information will follow.
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).
