[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]China Arts Fellowship (CAF)<\/strong>\u00a0is designed to foster the next generation of creative thinkers and cultural leaders; people who recognize possibilities and connections, and who seek careers fostering positive exchange across the global stage. The CAF program offers select participants the chance to spend seven months living and learning Mandarin language in an international community at one of China’s top universities–Shanghai Jiao Tong University–while gaining hands-on professional experience working as intern at a Shanghai cultural or educational organization, or for a media outlet. The CAF program is a partnership initiative of the Confucius Institutes at UCLA and Saint Petersburg State University in Russia, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.<\/p>\n

China’s Cultural Crossroads: Historic and Contemporary<\/b>
\nAs part of the experience, CA Fellows will have the opportunity to travel to Dunhuang, a UNESCO World Heritage site in northwest China that is now recognized as the preeminent site for Buddhist cave art.\u00a0 Like contemporary Shanghai, Saint Petersburg, and Los Angeles, Dunhuang was a vibrant cultural trade center where travelers from around the world gathered, exchanged goods and ideas, and collaborated to create a body of artwork that continues to resonate with audiences today.<\/p>\n

Timeline<\/strong>
\nSelected CA Fellows will arrive in China in late August to participate in a guided tour to northwest China.\u00a0 Following the tour, CA Fellows will commence studies at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and begin to formulate research project topics.\u00a0 Internships and individual research projects will commence in early November and continue through the Chinese New Year holiday period in late January\/early February. During the final weeks of the program, CA Fellows will complete their internships and research projects, and collectively plan a culminating symposium in early March showcasing their studies.<\/p>\n

Program Structure<\/strong>
\nDuring the first two months of the program, CA Fellows will intensively study Mandarin and participate in weekly trips to Shanghai cultural and educational institutions to learn about contemporary Chinese culture.\u00a0 During this period, the unique abilities and interests of Fellows will be assessed and shared with possible internship host institutions. Beginning in Month Three of the program, internships will begin.\u00a0 CA Fellowship partners will do their best to place participants in their desired internship locations, but final appointments will made by local partner organizations.\u00a0 Once assigned to an internship site, CA Fellows will not be reassigned to new host institutions.<\/p>\n

Research Project | Symposium<\/strong>
