Cultural Workshop
In addition to the Chinese chatting room, we also organize five to seven cultural workshops each semester, covering a range of topics including traditional handmade cuisine, DIY crafts of traditional artworks, and experiences of Chinese culture. Examples of these workshops include creating handmade pearl milk tea, DIYing traditional red brick houses, learning the art of Chinese tea, and practicing Chinese yo-yo exercises. These workshops offer students the opportunity to experience Chinese culture firsthand.
