📢 As a pioneer of international education in China, the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) Education Network, in collaboration with global education experts, is proud to launch a free public dialogue platform: the Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Lecture Series, themed "Challenges and Breakthroughs in Contemporary Education."
Guided by the mission "Empowering Every Child to Become a Builder of the Future World," this series focuses on the restructuring of education amidst the AI revolution. It aims to share cutting-edge global educational practices, explore pathways for international cultivation for Chinese families within the current global landscape, and contribute innovative models to the modernization of education in China.
🔥 YCYW EDUCATIONAL LECTURE SERIES - 25/26 LECTURE 16
Topic: Shaping Student Character Through Sports, Empowering Holistic Education
When the whistle at a school football match teaches children to respect the rules, when perseverance during long-distance running training hones their resilience, and when teamwork in team sports sparks innovative thinking, physical education has long since transcended the single objective of ‘building physical fitness’ to become a core part of the curriculum for shaping the well-rounded character of young people.
On 25 June at 19:00, YWIES Yantai, in partnership with Yantai Dowin Sports Group, will host an in-depth educational dialogue. Grounded in the philosophy of ‘whole-person education’ and drawing on cutting-edge brain science research and over two decades of practical experience in youth sports, we will explore how sport can truly empower children’s futures.
Speaker Introductions:
Mr Haoyu Wang
- Chairman of Yantai Dowin Sports Group
- President of China Taishan Beidou Alliance
- Vice President of Shandong Fencing Association
- Kukkiwon 5th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo
Mr Leo Lee
- Chinese Co-Principal, YWIES Yantai
Lecture Time: Thursday, 25 June 2026, 19:00
📍Lecture Venue:
YWIES Yantai
No. 9 Tianshan Road, Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shandong, China
Sneak Peek at Lecture Highlights:
- Dispelling Misconceptions about Sport through Scientific Research
- Demonstrating the dual value of sport in fostering resilience and enhancing academic performance
- Using real-life examples to illustrate how sport helps develop self-discipline, resilience, teamwork and the ability to cope with pressure
True ‘holistic education’ has never been about pitting academic learning against sport; rather, it is about making sport a solid foundation for children to explore the world and shape their character. In this era of uncertainty, we need not only to nurture students with solid academic abilities, but also to forge future leaders who possess self-discipline, resilience and a strong capacity to cope with setbacks.
Let us not allow ingrained prejudices to limit the boundless potential for our children’s all-round development. Let us explore together the path of future education based on the ‘symbiosis of sport and learning’, and witness how sport provides the strongest armour for our children’s growth!
