The exchange camp actively built a platform for communication and dialogue by holding Youth Dialogue, ice and snow experience, cultural appreciation, youth get-together and other activities to promote the joint development of youth in sister cities. At the same time, the combination of theory and practice has further deepened the students' profound understanding of the "Green Olympics, Open Olympics and Scientific Olympics" of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, promoted the ideological communication between Chinese and foreign youth, and jointly built a bridge for transnational cultural exchange. Bandra, a Doctor of Education from Malawi, said: "this is a good opportunity to understand China's technological progress since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games; it is an activity for young people to think deeply about how to use technology to share the future; at the same time, it also provides a window for the international community to better understand Beijing and Chinese communities."

The Beijing Sister City International Youth Exchange Camp was first held in 2012 and has been held for 10 times so far. More than 1500 Chinese and foreign youth from more than 60 countries and regions participated in it.

Let's go to the passionate Winter Olympics, enjoy the beauty of multiculturalism and realize the dream of win-win development. Let the friends of the city youth face the future all together.
