The Cross-Straits Education Forum is set to take place at the 2018 China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT).

Organized by Taiwan-based China Qingyan Peace Education Foundation, the forum will discuss the role traditional Chinese culture plays in Chinese students’ education and whole-brain education, which focuses on using both sides of the brain throughout the learning process.

The China Qingyan Peace Education Foundation, founded by the Kuomintang’s former president Hong Xiuzhu, is dedicated to promoting cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation in education and helping teenagers from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan better inherit traditional Chinese culture.

The CIFIT will this year be held in Xiamen, Fujian province, from Sept 8 to 11. Last year, the fair facilitated the signing of 1,577 investment projects worth 532.7 billion yuan ($82 billion) and attracted more than 100,000 domestic and foreign business representatives from 4,000 domestic and foreign enterprises, 700 business groups and 40 multinational corporations from 107 countries and regions.
