Muscat: As part of a cultural visit organized by the Chinese Embassy in Oman in collaboration with the Omani Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation, MCBS’s student, Abdullah Al Shaibani, among other students has started his cultural visit program taking place in China from 18th April to 2nd May 2024. This enriching journey will offer a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant tapestry of Chinese culture, history, and traditions.

With an itinerary carefully crafted to maximize cultural exchange, educational enrichment, and personal growth, participating students will embark on a transformative adventure across some of China’s most iconic landmarks and cities. From the bustling streets of Beijing to the serene landscapes of Guilin, each destination will offer a distinct perspective on the rich heritage and contemporary dynamism of China.

The visit’s program includes visiting several cultural institutions, educational institutions, and touristic sites. There will be an opportunity as well to learn the basics of the Chinese Language and to practice some of the most famous Chinese traditional games with Chinese people in typical Chinese neighborhoods. The purpose is to provide opportunities to engage in a diverse range of activities designed to foster cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.

Through this immersive cultural exchange, students will not only deepen their understanding of China but also cultivate invaluable skills in cross-cultural communication, adaptability, and global citizenship. By fostering friendships across borders and embracing diversity, participants will lay the groundwork for a more interconnected and harmonious world.

Dr. Moosa Al Kindi MCBS’s Dean emphasized: “We are thrilled to provide our students with this unique opportunity to experience the richness of Chinese culture firsthand. In an increasingly interconnected world, fostering cross-cultural understanding and empathy is more important than ever. We believe that this cultural visit will not only broaden our students’ horizons but also inspire them to become global citizens committed to building bridges across cultures.”

Upon his arrival to China, our student Abdullah Al Shaibani stated: “I would like to thank the Omani government as well as the Chinese government for this opportunity they gave us, we really enjoy the people here, the cultural diversity, we are learning a lot, and we are looking forward for more opportunities”. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to MCBS for taking care of its students and for granting such an opportunity to link its students with the world and its developments.
