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. Both are aimed at students of our language courses with cooperating schools, as well as 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:
- Summer Camp “Chinese & Skills” in Beijing and Wenzhou: 11–25 July 2026
- Focus: Chinese language, workshops, art and crafts, and excursions
- Summer Camp “Chinese & Culture” in Beijing and Shanghai: 12–26 July 2026
- Focus: Chinese language, culture and excursions
Applications for the summer camps are now open.
The selection process is the responsibility of the Confucius Institute and is based on the ‘first come, first served’ principle upon receipt of the COMPLETE APPLICATION DOCUMENTS, a recommendation from Chinese language teachers, and the results of Chinese language exams taken (YCT, HSK, IBT).
