Firstly, executive director of GIAMBOS, Ms. Margherita Matricardi has expressed her appreciation for our college’s warm welcome. According to GIAMBOS officer Mr. Wu Kai, GIAMBOS is a high education organization which had over 160 years history. Thanks to invitation from Education Department of Sichuan Province, GIAMBOS leader group and officers decided to visit universities and colleges of Sichuan Province.

In the meantime, president Xia Ping said, as a high education college with special faculties and long history, we have been looking forward to cooperating with Italian colleges and universities for a very long time, especially in the field of fashion design. If possible, we can begin our cooperation “from the shallower to the deeper”: Lecturers exchange at the beginning of cooperation; then students’ short-term exchange program; finally “3+0” double diplomas program or “3+2”bachelor plus master program.

In the end, both sides had a discussion about potential possibilities of further cooperation in the near future.
