Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone! 端午节快乐 ! Yesterday was a special day in the Chinese calendar and our team came together to eat sticky rice dumplings (粽子 Zongzi) and celebrate. We have also just released a workshop video on youtube so you can learn the history of this festival and how to make Zongzi at home! In the morning we ran an online workshop with students from the Arts Faculty. The students learnt about the festival and together we created beautiful Chinese knotted keychains using a special knot called 'pingjie' (平结).

Yesterday we wrapped up our UN Chinese language day program with our final event. Thank you everyone who joined our 'China Ready' Webinar, presented together with the Australia China Youth Association's Adelaide chapter. It was fantastic to see the huge amount of interest this webinar generated, even with the current restrictions on travel and going abroad. We remain optimistic for the future and regardless of the circumstances feel a better understanding and willingness to learn about other cultures is always relevant. If you missed it we are hoping to release a recording soon.
