Over 30 young overseas returnees took part in a cultural study and exchange event in Jiaxiang county, Jining, in late May. 

Participants visited an art museum, a coin exhibition, and a stone rubbing display, where they appreciated clay sculptures and learned about their history.

A discussion session explored ways to blend traditional culture with youthful innovation, encouraging the returnees to contribute their global perspectives to local cultural development.

The group also tried their hand at intangible cultural heritage rubbing techniques, gaining firsthand experience of traditional craftsmanship.

The event served as a cultural bridge to unite overseas returnees and channel their talents into Jining's high-quality development. 

It was jointly organized by Jining's Western Returned Scholars Association and the city's returnee innovation and development association, with the aim of building a platform for returning talents through enhanced cultural engagement.
