The Winter Camp 2023 organized by the International College of Chinese Language and Culture of Chongqing Normal University, started on the 1st of December 2023 and successfully ended on the 11th of December 2023. Twelve Undergraduates have participated in this program representing the Confucius Institute at the University of Kelaniya. The Chinese Co-Director, Dr. Wu Hongyuan also participated in guiding the students during the Winter Camp Program in China. This event lasted for 10 days and provided students with an opportunity to deeply understand Chinese culture and a precious experience of Chinese culture.
During the program, the students got the chance to learn Chinese Traditional Paper Cuttings, Chinese Calligraphy, The Art of Traditional Chinese Painting, Traditional Chinese Dance and Traditional Chinese Music, Chinese Martial Arts, and basic Chinese Language and Cultural Courses.
At the same time, they were able to explore the beauty of the historical cities and places in China by visiting Chongqing City, Chongqing Normal University History Museum, Chongqing Zoo, Jiefang Bei, and Hongya Cave, Rongchang City, the Rongchang Ceramic Museum, the ancient city of Wanling, the Violin Museum in Wanling City, the Dazu rock carvings, the Xiabu tie, and traditional Chinese Cloth dyeing, according to the program's inclusion. As well as they could taste the famous Hotpot and many other Chinese Cuisines.
The Twelve Undergraduates had the greatest opportunity to interact with Chinese Culture during this program period by participating in various Cultural Activities, participating in different cultural games, and visiting Chinese urban and historical places. Therefore, students could deeply experience the natural essence of traditional Chinese culture and traditional and modern Chinese Customs, able to broaden their horizons of book-related Chinese Language and Cultural knowledge through this unforgettable educational experience as well as gain a rich comprehensive understanding of China.
We are very thankful to the International College of Chinese Language and Culture of Chongqing Normal University for providing our students with this greatest opportunity, which is a huge inspiration for their Chinese Language Learning Journey to explore China.
