Project Civitas

Project Civitas (Chinese: Civitas计划) is a project-based learning initiative based in China. The founders aim to connect Chinese high school and college students with outstanding young adults worldwide through intellectual dialogues and civic engagement. The goal is to bring these civically minded individuals together to learn about the diverse cultural dimensions of each other's perspectives and collaboratively develop tangible actions directed at pressing social issues that plague humanity today. Since its inception in 2022, Project Civitas has successfully launched 3 domestic projects (Civitas Incubator) and 2 international projects (Civitas International), engaging over 300 students, mentors, and guest speakers worldwide. Notable mentors and speakers include social and economic leaders within Greater China, such as professors Yan Fei and Fang Kecheng, and entrepreneurs Yang Wentao and Vincent Liu. The current executive team of Project Civitas consists of 15 members from leading universities, such as Harvard, Duke, Cambridge, and Tsinghua. Before joining Project Civitas, several executive board members led Xiuhe Academy and Project Nous, two prominent non-profit organizations dedicated to liberal arts education in China. We pride ourselves as passionate young advocates committed to fostering positive social change by drawing inspiration from talented individuals around the world and promoting a humanity-oriented vision in global education.
