Tsinghua University's Caravan Class is redefining the age-old Confucian principle that \"knowledge comes from books and the accumulation of experience.\" By taking students beyond the traditional classroom setting, the program offers a unique blend of theoretical learning and practical engagement.
Participants embark on journeys to explore historical and cultural landmarks, immersing themselves in local communities. This hands-on approach not only broadens their horizons but also fosters meaningful connections and a profound appreciation for cultural diversity.
Much like Confucius accompanied by his disciples on his philosophical quests, the Caravan Class emphasizes \"self-cultivation\" by translating abstract concepts into tangible experiences. Through this innovative curriculum, students enhance their critical thinking skills and develop a holistic understanding of the world's rich cultural tapestry.
By bridging ancient wisdom with modern educational practices, Tsinghua University's Caravan Class equips the next generation of global citizens with the knowledge and empathy necessary to navigate and contribute to our interconnected world.
