SDG 9
Cross-cultural encounters between international students and tutors on campus are not just valuable, but they are also moments of mutual enrichment. International students, who often face challenges adapting to a different education system, language, and culture, find a bridge in their tutors. This bridge helps them navigate the new academic environment and leads to a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives. The meeting between tutors and international exchange students at Guangxi Normal University was a testament to this mutual enrichment held on September 11, 2023, at Guangxi Normal University Field.
In the context of cross-cultural encounters on campus, the role of tutors as bridges is not just important, but it is crucial. These encounters are valuable moments that enrich both international students and tutors. International students often face challenges in adapting to a different education system, language, and culture. Tutors serve as these bridges, helping students navigate the new academic environment and facilitating a rich cultural exchange.
Looking ahead, the increasing number of international students on global campuses makes cross-cultural experiences through international students meeting with tutors in campus settings increasingly important. These interactions serve as a means to help international students navigate academic challenges and as a medium for rich cultural exchange. Tutors, with an understanding of the unique needs of each student, play an essential role in bridging differences in language, values, and varied ways of learning. With this growth, this summit is expected to be a dynamic, collaborative space that promotes tolerance, intercultural understanding, and soft skills development. This cross-cultural experience will enrich tutors and students and prepare them to contribute to an increasingly connected and multicultural world.
