Design the Future. Reimagine Tradition.


The 2026 Shanghai International Summer School is officially underway at Donghua University!

This summer, 26 students from 8 countries and 12 universities have come together to discover how traditional Chinese craftsmanship can inspire the future of sustainable design.

Over the next three weeks, they'll dive into hands-on ICH workshops, collaborate with students from around the world, explore centuries-old crafts, and transform cultural heritage into fresh, contemporary design.

From ancient skills to bold new ideas, this is where creativity meets culture, and where global friendships begin.

Ready to explore, create, and make an impact!
