We are delighted to announce a new academic collaboration with Chongqing Luneng Bashu Secondary School, one of China’s most forward-thinking international high schools and the only institution in Chongqing offering a fully accredited Italian curriculum. This partnership represents an important step in our commitment to promoting Italian creativity and culture worldwide and nurturing young talent with an international mindset.
Located in one of the fastest-growing regions of China, Chongqing Luneng Bashu Secondary School is widely recognized for its academic excellence and its strong dedication to global education. Its Italian high school program reflects a growing interest among Chinese students in the Italian language, heritage, and the world-renowned design tradition that Italy embodies.
At Raffles Milano, we believe that true innovation is born from the exchange of ideas across cultures. Our institute is known for its practical, industry-connected approach, where students learn directly from leading professionals and explore design as both a creative discipline and a tool for interpreting contemporary society. Through this collaboration, we are excited to bring this educational philosophy to young students in China.
The main objectives of the partnership include:
Promoting Italian language and culture within the Chinese high-school environment through dedicated initiatives and educational support.
Introducing students to the world of design, fashion, visual communication, and product innovation through workshops, talks, and collaborative activities.
Creating academic pathways that give students the opportunity to engage with Raffles Milano’s approach and potentially continue their design studies in Italy.
Strengthening cultural dialogue between Italian and Chinese educators, institutions, and future professionals.
By sharing our expertise and opening the doors to the Italian design ecosystem, we aim to inspire Chinese students to explore their creative potential and envision new opportunities for their future.
Raffles Milano is proud to begin this collaboration with Chongqing Luneng Bashu Secondary School. Together, we look forward to building a dynamic platform that connects Italy and China through design, education, and shared cultural values. We warmly welcome this partnership and anticipate many exciting initiatives, exchanges, and new talents emerging from this joint effort.
This collaboration underscores our belief that design is a global language — one that unites people, fosters innovation, and shapes the creative leaders of tomorrow.
