China
As a nongovernmental organization, Global Exchange believes it is an important historical moment for us to meet with ngos and others promoting sustainable development efforts in China. Given the vastness of China's cultural and bio-diversity, the opportunities for partnerships beckon and the need is growing given China's mass push towards industrialization and export promotion. These days it is rare for those of us living in the U.S. to walk into a large retail outlet without seeing the "made in China" label. This simple fact inspires the philosophical foundation of this Reality Tour as we ask what our current interdependency is with China? How has globalization impacted the various Chinese societal sectors? What are current socioeconomic trajectories as the country continues to modernize? Clearly, China's culture and its social system are being affected. Find out how firsthand as you visit with representatives of various organizations working for cultural conservation, sustainable development and biodiversity protection. You will learn about the present as you also explore China's rich history, archeology, art and culture. Join us on this unique educational and cultural journey.
