Founded in Singapore in 2025, the Global Association of Cultural and Educational Exchange (GACEE) takes culture as its root, education as its bridge and young people as its future. Our network links schools and institutions in 126 countries: we co-organise the World Chinese Composition Competition with the Secondary School Students' Study Newspaper, have brought 180 principals together across three Principals China Tours, run Journey Through China study tours, connect overseas Chinese-language teachers with professional training, and bring teacher-led, AI-supported Chinese learning to the hardest-to-connect classrooms.
