The Silk Road to the Future is a dynamic educational and cultural collaboration among leading Chinese and U.S. universities, and the Legends of China Foundation. Its central purpose is to expose university students, faculty and staff to a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime international immersion experience that provides the participants an unparalleled opportunity to travel through China to meet their Chinese counterparts.

Through experiential learning, the exchange of ideas, and a highly visual historical tour of China’s distinctive cities, all who take part in this program gain both an invaluable perspective on China and a significant understanding of the many Chinese cultural and educational practices. In this process, lasting relationships are forged with China and its wonderful, friendly people. Through these relationships, participants truly become the Ambassadors of Peace.

Established by the Legends of China Foundation, a highly prestigious, non-governmental, non-profit organization, this unique international program embodies the wave of internationalism sweeping through higher education. With a decade-long track record of success, up to today, The Legends of China -- Silk Road to the Future program has drawn participation of over 10,000 Ambassadors of Peace from some 200 prestigious universities across the United States and Canada, as well as from over 400 top Chinese institutions.
