Join "Lead this Group" to help us get this society up and running again.

 

 

What was the vibe of this group?

Mandarin is widely spoken across all of China, Singapore, and lots of diasporas all over the world, it is an important language in the global economy, and is increasingly important in international business. This society wanted to help students learn Mandarin to help to promote understanding between different cultures and foster relationships between people. It is amazing when you can speak another’s language!

They wanted to offer a space for all students to socialise and share each others cultures whilst opening up those conversations through the learning of Chinese culture.

Their main activity was Chinese calligraphy sessions, but they did host some other actvities and planned to host more. 

Such as learning basic Mandarin, sharing appreciation of popular literature & Cross-cultural activities/traditions such as Makeup, Hanfu Costume experiences and Paper Cutting Art. As well as promoting cultural immersion by attending Chinese markets, drinking traditional Chinese teas and eating traditional Chinese foods.
