Interactive legal study tour engages youth in judicial process

100 seventh-and-eighth-grader representatives embarked on a legal study tour at the people's procuratorate of Linqing – a county-level city administered by Liaocheng city in East China's Shandong province – on May 8. Their visit to the juvenile legal protection center was said to be particularly enriching.

The event featured three interactive display methods: push-apart, flip and blind box selections, making the learning fun and engaging. The students also donned professional attire and took on the roles of judges, lawyers and plaintiffs in a mock trial of a campus bullying case. This hands-on experience not only taught them the importance of the law but also inspired them how to handle campus bullying.

The trip was not about spoon-feeding or passive indoctrination, nor was it a superficial sightseeing tour. Instead, it focused on skillfully guiding students to use legal thinking to analyze and solve problems. (Edited by Zhang Bo and Du Xiaping)
