Mini-UWC is a 9-day summer programme held by ASAP (All Students for Action Program), a Zhixing activity initiated by United World College Changshu China students. ASAP provides the UWC Changshu China (CSC) experience to all the campers participating in Mini-UWC. Participants will enjoy an unforgettable experience during this summer programme. Campers are required to initiate social service programmes and plan a complete project that will be presented at the end of Mini-UWC.

The theme of Mini-UWC this year is The Windmill. A timeless symbol of harmony and opportunity, the windmill offers profound lessons for personal growth and collective progress. A windmill rotates gracefully only when its four blades are perfectly balanced and symmetrical. This principle mirrors life itself—true fulfilment lies not in perfecting a single aspect of our lives, but in nurturing equilibrium across all dimensions: intellectual, emotional, physical, and social. Through workshops, collaborative projects, and reflective activities, participants will explore how to cultivate resilience by harmonising their ambitions, relationships, and well-being. Yet, even the most balanced windmill cannot turn without wind. The gusts that set it in motion represent the opportunities that propel us forward. This summer, we will empower participants to recognise, seize, and channel these "winds" of chance—whether through creative problem-solving, leadership challenges, or community initiatives. Just as a windmill transforms breeze into energy, we will equip you with the tools to turn possibilities into purposeful action.

All Students for Action Program (ASAP) is initiated by youth pioneers from United World College Changshu China. It aims at developing and promoting the idea of "All for Action" and holds the principle of "learning, practising and changing".
