What is
Yunhe Centre
Education for a Complex and Changing World
Yunhe Centre is a Certified B Corp social enterprise in China with 11 years of experience designing innovative, place-based learning experiences for young people.
From Himalayan communities and giant panda habitats to Shanghai, our own learning centres and long-term partnerships make China a living classroom — connecting students with real-world challenges in climate action, business for good, cutting-edge technology, ecological restoration and cultural heritage revival.
Young people learn alongside researchers, entrepreneurs, designers and community leaders through open dialogues, hands-on experiences and creative projects. They return with a broader perspective, new possibilities and a spark that can shape the journeys they take next.
