Research on Pathways for Ideological and Political Courses in Higher Education to Facilitate Youth in Guiding the Dissemination of Chinese Culture

Abstract

On the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching towards the second centenary goal, the in-depth implementation of the strategy of strengthening China's cultural power places new and higher demands on the younger generation. As the most dynamic and creative group, young people are a key force in the inheritance and innovation of Chinese culture and the main force in promoting Chinese culture to the world. As a key curriculum for cultivating morality and educating people, ideological and political theory courses in universities (hereinafter referred to as "ideological and political courses") play an irreplaceable role in shaping youth's cultural concepts, fostering cultural identity, and enhancing their cultural communication capabilities. This study aims to systematically examine the contemporary context and internal logic of ideological and political courses in universities in promoting youth leadership in the dissemination of Chinese culture. It also deeply analyzes the multiple challenges faced by these courses, including the lack of adaptability of the teaching system, insufficient capacity among young participants, and a weak external support system. Based on this, it proposes targeted and practical strategies from the perspectives of strengthening both internal and external drivers and building a multi-faceted collaborative support system. The study aims to provide theoretical references and practical insights for the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses in universities in the new era and for cultivating new generations capable of shouldering the great responsibility of national rejuvenation.
