Exchange Program Hunan University of Humanities Science & Technology (HUHST)

The team was warmly welcomed and received by Ms. Cindy Yan a lecturer of the University, and two of HUHST students. On the first day of the 12 day long program the group was taken to the “Hunan Provincial Museum” where students were introduced to history and culture of China according to periods of time. The next day activity was followed by Chinese language lessons and establishing communication with local students of the University. On the third day a conference meeting was held at the conference hall of HUHST. There our students gave an excellent presentation on our country, culture and our university. The main speakers of this meeting were Mr. John Jiang (Director of HUHST), Ms. Nikki Huang (Deputy Director), Hugh Lee (Section Chef) and Cindy Yan (Clerk). After the meeting the cultural events and activities continued as scheduled. These included Chinese paper-cutting, Chinese Lion and Dragon dance, Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Handicraft, pottery, Chinese Martial-art etc. The university also organized a two day long cultural trip to “The Nanshan Mountains”. AIUB students represented the culture and heritage of Bangladesh. They wore Panjabi and Saree to perform cultural dances and songs in front of Chinese students and locals on HUHST campus. The whole exchange program ended with a certificate giving ceremony on 5th November 2019. The Director of HUHST along with Deputy Director handed the certificates to the students.

HUHST was impressed by AIUB delegates and offered to give full scholarship to two students from AIUB for their higher studies. Soon they will also send students at AIUB as part of Cultural Exchange Programs. Through this first of many programs, HUHST and AIUB formed a bond that will flourish more in the future. This successful event is one of AIUB’s many proud gains.
