Commitment to Engagement & Content Creation
As a delegate, you are a storyteller for the program. To ensure we capture the experience, we have a minimum baseline for content deliverables. All delegates must submit: Two (2) written journal reflections (one during the trip, one post-trip). One (1) high-quality photo or video essays (documenting matters such as daily life, youth perspectives, modernization or any subject of interest) Note: We welcome and encourage creativity! If you prefer to create special video, art, or social media content, we can replace the standard requirements with a custom project. You are welcome to propose this now or discuss it with us after you are selected.
*
I understand and agree to meet the standard content deliverables listed above or an equivalent creative project to be agreed upon with the organizers.
Commitment to the Group
This program requires moving a large group through a busy itinerary. Punctuality and cooperation are safety requirements, not just suggestions.
*
I understand and agree to adhere to the group schedule and respect the instructions of the program leaders at all times.

Short Answer
Please answer honestly and in your own voice. Please refrain from using AI to generate answers, We would rather read a messy, authentic thought than a polished, AI-generated one.
1. Statement of Intent: Discover China is designed to be an immersive cultural exchange, not just a sightseeing tour. How does your specific background (intended college major, hobbies, or unique talents) shape your interest in China, and what do you hope to gain personally or intellectually from this immersive exchange? (Max 2,000 characters)
2. True connection often starts with listening, not talking. If you had 30 minutes with a local student your age, what is one specific question you would ask them to better understand what their daily life is really like? Why is that question meaningful to you? (Max 2,000 characters)
3. We don't expect you to be a professional influencer, but we do expect you to capture memories. When you experience something new and exciting, how do you naturally prefer to document it? (e.g., taking candid photos, writing in a journal, making funny videos, sketching, posting on stories) How might you use that natural preference to help us share the story of this trip? If you have particular creative or content creation skills, please let us know here. (Max 1,500 characters)
