The School' 2022 Summer School was held online from 10 July to 22 July. The School set up modules for different grades, such as professional characteristic practical activities, discipline professional competition training, innovation and entrepreneurship thematic education, internationalization ability development and core ability strengthening. Some of our students from the Class of 2019 and all students from the Grades of 2020 and 2021 participated in this summer school.

To broaden students' horizons and enhance their professional abilities, the School arranged three professional-specific practical activities, including professional internship, academic technology day and summer social practice. In addition to some of the Class of 2019 students going on internship, there are also the 11 summer practice teams actively carrying out teaching and research activities. The Academic Science and Technology Day focused on the development history of the School, with emphasis on the professional information of the School.

In the training module of the subject competition, the School conducted pre-competition training for the "I am a Diplomat" competition. Three teachers, Ms Zhou Ming, Ms Sun Xiowen and Mr Cao Wei, gave lectures on diplomatic protocols, the art and techniques of negotiation, and current affairs analysis and summaries to develop students' awareness of the professional competition. This will not only help students to understand the contents related to the work of diplomats and broaden their international perspective, but also help to enhance their sensitivity and analytical ability in current affairs, laying a solid foundation for them to participate in relevant competitions.

In the module of innovation and entrepreneurship education, the School organised two events, namely "2022 National Innovation and School Innovation and Luming Project Progress Report and Exchange Meeting" and "Employment and Entrepreneurship ofschoolStudents", to address the innovation and entrepreneurship issues of students.

In order to enhance the students' comprehensive literacy, theschoolorganised two salons in the Core Competency Enhancement Module, namely "Foreign Language Skills Exchange and Enhancement" and "Data and Design Driven Dissertation Writing". Four teachers, Sang Pu, Sun Xiowen, Li Liang and Wang Tingting, shared their learning experiences with the students and offered advice on learning English and Russian.The students actively exchanged ideas with the teachers and gained a lot. In the Data and Design Driven Dissertation Writing Salon, two teachers, Chen Yiyi and Yang Chenbo, gave a full talk on research design and literature review respectively.

In the internationalisation module, two courses, "Introduction to International Political Economy" and "Contemporary Marxism and the Chineseisation of Marxism", were taught by Professor Gerald Schneider from Konstanz University and Associate Professor Josef Gregory Mahoney from the Department of Political Science of East China Normal University. The two courses were taught in English, with Mr Chen Yiyi and Mr Mao Jianping as teaching assistants for the two courses.

In the Introduction to International Political Economy course, Mr Gerald Schneider explained in detail the construction and development of international political economy, using data to show the international political and economic situation and explain the interaction between international politics and economy, reflecting the changes in international political economy. In Contemporary Marxism and the Chineseisation of Marxism, Mr Mahoney takes students through a different perspective on contemporary Marxism and the Chineseisation of Marxism, with a focus on Chinese dialectical thinking in the context of the traditional Chinese doctrine of Yin and Yang. The module is of positive significance in developing the cross-fertilisation of disciplines among our students.

In addition, in order to enrich the summer study life of our students, our School Committee organised a series of online activities and formed a more comprehensive online class schedule, including fitness on the cloud, study exchange, job search and employment, core competition and comprehensive quality training. Our students were mobilised by theschoolto actively participate and enrich their holiday life.

Based on improving the talent cultivation system for undergraduates, theschoolorganises and conducts the Summer School on the Cloud in conjunction with the actual situation of theschool, strengthening practical education, focusing on the enhancement of students' abilities in professional practice, competition training, innovation and entrepreneurship, internationalisation and disciplinary core competencies, helping our students to consolidate their professional knowledge, broaden their academic horizons and improve their overall quality.
