The Changchun stop of the 2025 French Universities Autumn Tour concluded on Nov 9 at the West Beijing Street (also known as Chunjingxi) Historical and Cultural Block.

Organized by Campus France Chine under the Consulate General of France in Shenyang, the event gave local students a valuable chance to connect directly with top French higher education institutions.

The exhibition featured a diverse lineup including five public universities, five engineering schools, 17 business schools, and several specialized institutions, offering a broad range of academic pathways.

Dedicated areas for face-to-face talks with admissions officers and one-on-one guidance allowed students and parents to consult directly with representatives from institutions such as ESSEC Business School and Universite Paris Cite, who provided tailored advice on program selection, application procedures, and scholarship opportunities.

The event stood out for its creative blend of education and culture. Within a local art-themed exhibition space, alumni shared their study-in-France experiences, while visitors enjoyed French fruit preserves, which added a charming cultural element to the proceedings. This immersive "education + culture" experience provided participants with valuable academic insights and a vivid sense of cross-cultural exchange.

Moving forward, Chunjingxi Historical and Cultural Block plans to continue hosting similar international events to inspire local youth and foster deeper cultural and artistic collaboration.
