Oxford summer program fosters global perspectives

LONDON — In August, 25 Chinese students enrolled in a two-week summer program at St Hilda's College, Oxford, England, which focuses on artificial intelligence and computer science.

The initiative, part of the WeChat Global Exploration Plan, offers students the opportunity to present their self-developed digital mini-programs to the public in Oxford and London.

The program officially opened on Aug 5, where British educator H-J Colston praised the participants' international mindsets. "Chinese people are much more globally minded than we are," Colston said at the opening ceremony.
