Study Tour Design

Cultural exchange is important for personal development. While we expand our horizon and establish the personal network, we can also better re-investigate, deepen and understand our culture in a cross-cultural context, and at the same accumulate our cultural capital, as well as increase the competitiveness.

In the past few years, Zuni had exchanges and collaborations with universities, institutions, groups and individual artists from all over the world, and established a network of domestic and foreign countries, Europe, Asia as well as the United States. Since 2015, Zuni has introduced “Nanjing Study Tour” to the youth theatre learning programme “Creative Playground”. More than 50 young people, who travel to Nanjing to learn from the local Kunqu Opera Masters and performing arts master from different Asian cities, were benefited from the study tour in the 2-year programme. Experienced in exchanges and collaborations, Zuni is in the position to provide support and advice in designing study tour.
