Abstract
The world is currently experiencing two transformations: one driven by the advancement of digital technologies, particularly the unprecedented breadth, depth, and speed of intelligent digitalization; and the other propelled by the values of human sustainable development, encompassing economic, social, and environmental dimensions. These intertwined transformations form a dual transformation of human society, which also intersects with China's modernization process, presenting historical conditions for educational reform, development, and the growth and learning of Chinese youth. This sharing will discuss how to understand this dual transformation and how can universities and students effectively take the opportunities to enable their own dual transformation.
