Gotoco is a small social enterprise committed to promoting cultural exchange between China and the English-speaking world. Our programs are unique because we do not charge anyone to take part. Social enterprises are businesses committed to helping improve local, national and global communities and reinvest any profits into their social mission. Our aim is to introduce more Western university students to China and its diverse culture. We seek to improve tomorrow’s international relations by allowing the next generation of leaders to engage with one of the most economically, politically and culturally important countries of the 21st century. Through our programs, students can spend a month or two teaching in picturesque and exciting parts of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Yangshuo. While inspiring the next generation of Chinese children to learn English, the students would also take part in Mandarin lessons, cultural trips and traveling.
500 people are on Gotoco summer in China projects right now! But if you missed coming to China this July and August, it's not too late for this year.
We still have a few spots open for September programmes so why not get involved? Remember, we charge no fees or fund raising, and provide funding to cover meals, accommodation and TEFL! Please read on below to learn about two short projects and our long-term roles, and contact us ASAP so that we can help you with visas and planning your trip.
