On May 18th, on the occasion of the International Museum Day, the “New Growth Project” launched its first charity camp themed on teenager cultural relics study travel at the Shanghai Museum.

As many as 50 student representatives from Inner Mongolia minority areas and the rural areas in Hunan Province where left-behind children live joined the camp over the next four days to experience the study travel to many places, including Jiaxing and Suzhou. The students took this chance to explore the world and expand knowledge so that they can truly understand traditional Chinese culture.
