Bridge Cultural Exchange Academy

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This program is BCEA’s public education program. The primary goal of the student forums is to bridge the gap between students and experts, providing students with the opportunity to learn and engage directly with leading figures in various fields. These forums aim to create a platform where students can gain insights, ask questions, and receive mentorship from experts, policymakers, and entrepreneurs. By facilitating these interactions, the forums empower the next generation, fostering their development as informed and active global citizens. At the same time, we aim to enrich public knowledge on that crucial topic in our daily life, as a global citizen
