School Workshops
Our school workshops aim to spark interest in Chinese language and culture and form part of our effort to improve Chinese literacy in local schools. They can be the first step for schools who are starting out to establish a quality and sustainable Chinese language program in the curriculum.
Students' Workshops
Our half-day workshops are designed to be a 'taster' to get students excited about learning Chinese language and culture.
The workshops can be tailored to your school's needs but often consist of three or four interactive sessions, such as Chinese Language, Chinese Food, Chinese Paper Folding, and Chinese Folk Song and Dance. They are very hands-on and lots of fun for your students.
Our students' workshops are free of charge. They can be arranged for students at your school or for a group of students from different schools. If you are interested, please contact us.
Teachers' Workshops
Our workshops are designed to give teachers the practical skills and strategies to introduce Chinese language and culture to their schools.
These hands-on workshops are for teachers with an interest in developing their own understanding of Chinese language and culture. The sessions are built around providing examples of practical, hands-on activities that can be used in the classroom to spark the interest of students to learn more about Chinese language and culture.
Workshops can be arranged for teachers at your school or for a group of teachers from different schools. If you are interested, please contact us.
