When is It? The 2010-2011 school year is the first year for the New Perspectives:China program. We are only offering one tour date: June 13-July 1, 2011. These dates are subject to scheduling changes. Your NP:C experience actually begins the second semester of the 2010-11 academic year when your study theme curriculum arrives at your school. Your experience ends when you have completed follow-on learning activities after your return to the United States. Check out a sample itinerary for an idea of what your trip will be like. (This is a sample itinerary only.) In February, each group designs its own itinerary based on the NP:C Building Blocks. Each group's itinerary is then finalized around April which gives the group approximately two months to research sites on the itinerary. It is recommended that responsibility for researching each site be divided among the student participants. Then prior to the trip, students teach each other about their researched sites as well as refresh everyone's memory regarding the sites when standing in front of the site in China!
