TimelineThe following is an ideal timeline for planning your program.

The project “Reflecting on World War II and Experiencing Europe” has

brought to life what students have learnt from books, often leading to

an epiphany. Though systematic study of the Italian and German

people’s experiences in World War II, students understand the cruelty

of the war and the value of peace. At the same time, the program also

helps students to learn the classical civilization of Europe in the modern

style so that they understand today’s Europe better. This program is the

first international project of the School of History and Culture, which

marks a significant milestone in the internationalization of the School.

Thanks to SAF for its great support and excellent service!
