Dialogue@ZJU: With students from the 2023 ZJU SDG Global Summer School

[Editor’s Note: In August 2023, the ZJU SDG Global Summer School welcomed over 1,000 talented students from more than 80 countries and regions. During this event, participants delved into solutions for seven of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through engaging academic modules and exciting extracurricular activities. What did these students acquire from their participation in the Summer School? Moreover, what are their anticipations for next year's program? Our students have candidly shared their most cherished memories and expectations via videos and tweets on social media.]
