Special events for schools
Apply for a China Day, workshop or a taster session in your school, where children can experience tailor-made activities centred around Chinese culture and/or language.
Our options for events in schools range from a full ‘China Day’ where pupils can immerse themselves in the country, its language and its culture, to standalone workshops and language taster sessions. They include:
- China Days and China Half-Days, which can be arranged around a Chinese festival or event, a specific theme, or simply a general introduction to China
- workshops which can be tailored to meet the needs of the pupils (these can be held as standalone sessions or part of your school’s own Activity or Culture days)
- Taster Days, where pupils are introduced to the basics of Mandarin Chinese – spoken, written, or both
- assemblies, special classes or talks
Activities
Activities are based on tutor skills and availability, but past events have included Chinese:

Schools should be located within an hour from Cardiff city centre, and reachable by public transport. Please note that we will cover the costs of our tutors' time, but ask you to ensure that the necessary materials – such as resources for craft activities – are available.
We also request that you reimburse their transport costs on the day of your event.
Our special events for schools are subject to the availability of tutors.
