Education Travel: Public Health in Hangzhou
Play a part in defining a healthier China on this educational program in Hangzhou. From learning about water supply protection and disease prevention to getting to know the ins and outs of food hygiene, this program will provide an in-depth and hands-on look at public health in the Middle Kingdom.
About This Trip
Qiandao (Thousand Island) Lake's pristine water quality, and its significant role in the drinking water supply for eastern China makes it the perfect place to learn about public health. On this trip, you won't be learning from the sidelines, you'll be diving in (not literally, don't worry) to test water supplies, participate in local food hygiene projects, and present disease prevention research to both peers, and local authorities.
