PROJECT INTRODUCTION As the world first populated country, though developing very fast in economic and business field, China still enjoy huge problems in education resulting in the imbalanced education resources distribution. Founded in 2008, Dare to Dream was initiated to improve the educational resources balance between rural areas and urban areas, aiming at providing opportunities for teenagers in rural middle schools to know the outer world better and be bold to chase their dreams, by hosting summer camps and winter camps with young people from all over the world. Dare to Dream is the largest national project of AIESEC in Mainland of China. In 2013-2014, 26 LCs hosted Dare to Dream summer camps or winter camps, with more than 840 trainees, impacting more than 9000 rural teenagers annually. Volunteers will design courses regarding cultural understanding, leadership empowerment, social issues, English study and self-discovery.

TRAINEE FEEDBACKS
“I knew that embarking on this trip will give me some knowledge about who i am, what am i capable of and how to improve myself, but I never knew that this was gonna be such an emo6onal and life-‐changing experience. We have an immense bond among us, EPs and OCs, but also with the kids we worked with, we stayed in touch with them ever since. Definetely this will bring me back to China once again, but more over, this opened doors for me throughout the whole world. I've made so many friends that it will take me about two years to visit them all properly. Program's name was Dare to Dream 3.0, and sure when I got back home, it all seemed like dream. Best 6me of my life.”
“I want to thank with all my heart AIESEC, Qingdao OC team for great experience, vivid emo6ons, homely and invi6ng atmosphere. They were responsible to their work and did their best to make us (i mean, EP) feel comfortable. I think, they are the best OC team of the best, lol. And a host family was very kind, hospitable and responsive. My lovely Chinese family.(one more BIG plus to OC team`s work)What else... I was pleasantly surprised by the aYtude of the Chinese to foreigners. They were very responsive, polite and tried to help as best they could. In the end, I would like to commend the work of buddies. They helped and supported me so much that I wasn't even nervous. OC team chosen amazing people for buddy work.”

“This is definitely the best abroad experience that ever happened in my life! I can tell that the AIESEC JLU OC team and the local volunteers really did a good job on arranging this project. And I think alloca6ng Chinese volunteers to be EP buddies is really a good way to let EPs get more used to Chinese culture. However, there are two points that I would like to suggest, first of all, is that I think the finalized 6meline should be officially informed, or to say that, could seble the finalized 6meline earlier. Although all EPs had received the recep6on booklet including 6meline before our arrival, but there were several changes in 6meline acer we arrived Beijing. Another point is that, I suggest to post the important message by email, individual message, or any place that we can easily check or be informed. I really don't recommend to post important message in the chatroom (ex: wechat chatroom) because the chatroom may be usually crowded and full of messages, it is possible for people to ignore or miss out important message, if people do not check every single message at any 6me.”
