This is an innovative and international partnership project linking Scottish and Chinese primary classrooms to learn about climate action and the climate crisis. Schools over 5000 miles apart, gather digitally for eight weeks to engage with real issues and devise practical solutions. Through a shared block of lessons and four live-link-up sessions, learners get to know their peers - communicating, sharing and learning together to take on one of the biggest issues facing this generation globally.

Our pupil immersion trip is an annual trip to Beijing and Tianjin each July. Nearly 1000 young people across Scotland have had the opportunity to travel to China with CISS to learn about its unique language and culture. Pupils attend daily language and culture classes and go on a number of excursions, such as the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. Pupils receive an SQA China Bridge Award accreditation at the end of the trip.
