On the first UN International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations (June 10), students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities shared how sports, music, and digital platforms are breaking down cultural barriers. 🏓🎶
American, Chinese, and Dutch students highlighted table tennis as a universal language during a discussion moderated by CGTN's Enoch Wong. 'You don’t need words to connect over a game—just a paddle and a smile,' said Li Wei, a Peking University student.
Others praised orchestra collaborations for fostering teamwork across borders. 🎻 'Harmony in music translates to harmony in understanding,' noted Dutch exchange student Emma De Vries.
Meanwhile, the rise of China-U.S. youth-led podcasts is amplifying cross-cultural storytelling. 'Our show tackles everything from K-pop to climate action—it’s Gen-Z diplomacy!' laughed UCLA exchange student Jake Miller.
These initiatives reflect a growing trend: young people are rewriting the script on global dialogue, one ping-pong rally and podcast episode at a time. 🌐✨
