At the start of December, I headed back to China for the concisely named ‘Founding Conference of China-UK Innovation & Enterprise Vocational Alliance’, to deliver an enterprise training session to vocational educators. The session was included some practical activities and some underpinning pedagogic theory. The conference was hosted by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and held at the Beijing College of Commerce and Finance. This meant I had the opportunity to return to Beijing and see colleagues and remind myself of winter in Beijing, which didn’t feel as cold as I remembered. After the conference I went to Wuhan to visit Wuhan City Vocational College and got to enjoy some reganmian street noodles.
