Extended Deadline: Encounter · Be Inspired 微光拾光・自在成长——师德师风学习活动

As a joint university, we teach across cultures and inspire transdisciplinary learning. But great teaching isn’t always made of grand ideas. It lives in small, real moments — a well-prepared lesson, a patient answer, kindness offered when no one is watching.

We invite you to pause and witness how other teachers live those small moments. No pressure, no clock-watching. Just a chance to see the light in others, and be inspired to grow and shine your own.

We’ve gathered video resources on topics that actually matter to you: academic honesty, respect in relationships, cross-cultural understanding, and the quiet wisdom of looking after a classroom well.

How to join (light and simple):

When: July 2026 (Extended deadline)

Who: All staff (Note: The event is Chinese-resource oriented, foreign teachers are welcome to join)

What: Watch at least 5 short videos

Reflect: Write a short 200-character takeaway — like a quiet note to yourself

Reward: Learning certificate & a small gift (coffee voucher, souvenir, or USB drive)
