The 8th Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop Starts

Published

on

KUNMING, China, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The 8th Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop, co-hosted by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), the Ministry of Science and Technology of People’s Republic of China (MOST), and the People’s Government of Yunnan Province, launched in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, on July 23.

Themed “Dream of Future Science, Dedication to Better World,” this year’s event, held in a hybrid online and offline format, reached a record high in offline participation, with approximately 300 teachers and students from 37 countries and regions converging in Kunming. The event, which emphasizes science education and international cooperation, offered a collaborative environment for participants from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The program included four science-themed camps—”Fossils that Witness the Evolution of Life on Earth from Yunnan,” “Plant Fantasy,” “Guide the Future Wisely,” and “Chasing Sun”—and ten activities focusing on science, technology, and cultural exchange, such as Cultural Night, Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience, and Dialogue with Scientists. These activities provided a dynamic setting for young participants to explore scientific subjects, engage in creative projects, and interact with both peers and distinguished scientists. Teachers participated in specialized exchanges to enhance their professional development and promote cross-cultural educational collaborations.

At the opening ceremony, scientists from around the world jointly launched International Initiative for Collaborative Innovation in Science Education under the BRI Framework. The initiative advocates for empowering student science clubs and seeks to empower young people by enhancing their scientific knowledge and skills. In collaboration with distinguished scientists from BRI countries, the initiative strives to create an international platform for dialogue and exchange, and to establish a sustainable cooperation mechanism aimed at building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Since its first gathering in 2017, the Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop has been held annually for eight consecutive years, attracting students and teachers from dozens of countries and regions who embark on an exhilarating journey of scientific discovery. In 2023, the camp was recognized as one of the practical cooperation projects of the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. It remains the only program of its kind dedicated exclusively to teenagers.

Jassper Shipping to Invest US$50M, Puts India at Center of Global Push

Published

on

By

HYDERABAD, India and DUBAI, UAE and NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jassper Shipping, a project logistics and specialised cargo solutions company, today announced a growth capital programme of up to US$50 million, subject to prevailing market conditions, requisite regulatory approvals and internal corporate authorizations, to be deployed over the next three years.

The intended capital infusion aligns to India’s infrastructure, manufacturing and energy expansion, while integrating industrial supply chain capabilities across India, the Gulf, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Red Sea and the Far East.

Under Phase 1, Jassper Shipping intends to deploy US$10 million to its B2B project logistics business. That money is earmarked for sectors the company already serves: power, steel, petrochemicals, heavy engineering, manufacturing and large infrastructure.

McKinsey & Company puts the global project logistics market at over US$400 billion by 2030, driven by infrastructure builds, energy transition spending and trade route restructuring. The World Economic Forum notes this restructuring is pushing capital toward emerging-market corridors, with India, the Gulf and Southeast Asia as priority destinations.

India’s major ports handled 915.17 million tonnes of cargo in FY 2025–26, up 7.06% year-on-year, per the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. That tracks with what Jassper sees across its own corridors, where industrial activity, energy projects and infrastructure builds push up demand for specialised cargo handling, port connectivity and inland transport.

“India is in the middle of a multi-year investment cycle across infrastructure and industry, and that is opening up real opportunities for specialised logistics players. Our US$50 million programme is about building the scale and execution strength to participate in that — and to do it from India, radiating outward to the Gulf and our other international corridors,” said Pushpank Kaushik, CEO & Head of Business Development (Subcontinent, Middle East & Southeast Asia), Jassper Shipping.

About Jassper Shipping

Founded in 1993, Jassper Shipping is an international shipping and logistics company providing project logistics, breakbulk logistics, bulk logistics, ship chartering and industrial supply chain solutions. The company has operations and network coverage across SEA, Africa, Arabian Gulf, Red Sea and Far East Asia, among others.

Over the years, Jassper Shipping has expanded into allied businesses including Jassper Fuels and integrated EVs into its distribution logistics, enabling integrated supply chain solutions.

FROM 19 SEPTEMBER – THE BIENNALE OPENS TO EVERYONE

From Saturday 19 September to Sunday 13 December 2026, the 18th Lyon Biennale – Contemporary Art invites audiences to discover a new artistic map of Lyon and its metropolitan area.

Entitled “Passer d’un rêve à l’autre / To pass from one dream to another”, this 18th edition is under the artistic direction of Isabelle Bertolotti and curated by Catherine Nichols.

Inspired by Lyon’s traboules — passageways that lead through courtyards and buildings, connecting one space to another — the Biennale explores the ways in which we can move from one mode of perception to another and, perhaps, from one collective dream to another.

Drawing on the history of Lyon as a city of trade, production, circulation and exchange, this edition examines the economies that organise our lives: the ways in which human and more-than-human beings acquire, transform, share and circulate the material and immaterial resources that enable them to live.

11 VENUES TO EXPERIENCE THE CITY DIFFERENTLY

With 120 artists and 11 exhibition venues, this year’s Biennale extends far beyond a traditional museum itinerary. Cultural institutions, heritage sites, former industrial spaces, public spaces and places of transit form a geography to be discovered across the city and metropolitan area:

Les Grandes LocosMusée d’art contemporain de Lyon – macLYONMusée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifsTraboules des pentes de la Croix-RousseJardin du Musée des Beaux-ArtsIAC – Institut d’art contemporain / Frac Rhône-AlpesMusée des ConfluencesFondation BullukianParking LPA Saint-AntoineMetro Line B – Gare Part-Dieu stationCour des Loges, A Radisson Collection Hotel

Three venues form the principal anchors of this edition: Les Grandes Locos, macLYON and the Musée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifs.

At Les Grandes Locos, the industrial scale of the site resonates with questions of production, transformation, extraction and circulation. At macLYON, the exhibition explores more closely the conditions of existence, life and death, inheritance and debt. At the Musée des Tissus, the works examine forms of relationship, care and exchange.

Around these three major hubs, the Biennale spreads throughout the city, taking over artistic institutions, heritage sites and everyday spaces alike.

LYON: A CITY-WIDE ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE

For nearly three months, the Biennale invites audiences to see Lyon differently.

Entering a museum, walking through a traboule, encountering an artwork in a former railway-industrial site, a garden, a car park or a metro station: the itinerary turns the city itself into one of the territories of the exhibition.

With this 18th edition, the Biennale de Lyon reaffirms more strongly than ever its mission: to make contemporary art an experience of encounter, circulation and sharing, open to everyone.
