From a special calligraphy class and a Chinese Cuisine Workshop to a Chinese and British Culture Quiz and activities at our Star Mandarin School for children, we were proud to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity. Teacher Jiaxing in class Seminar: Minority Culture in Guizhou Province on 5 MayThe next China-UK Humanities Exchange Forum - Conservation of Minority Culture in Guizhou Province - A Soundscape Perspective - will take place online at 9am (UK time) on 5 May. Guizhou is a province with one of the largest numbers of ethnic minorities in China. The soundscapes of Guizhou undertake and explore social and cultural functions such as the recording of historical culture and the distinguishing of ethnic groups. This talk will analyse Guizhou's traditional culture from the perspective of soundscapes (the everyday sounds of the region and culture), laying a theoretical foundation for the inheritance and dissemination of ethnic cultural heritage. This joint presentation is based on collaborative work of the two speakers from Shijiazhuang University, Professor Kang Jian and Professor Mao Lingqing.Find out more Learn Mandarin this summer!If you’ve ever wanted to learn some Chinese but been worried it might be too challenging, don’t worry!
