Wednesday, June 26, 2024 Last summer, 24 students from Confucius Institutes at Adam Mickiewicz University and Vistula University in Poland embarked on a two-week journey to Tianjin Municipality, China. They participated in the “Chinese Bridge” summer camp, designed to deepen their understanding of Chinese language and culture. Through Chinese language classes, cultural excursions, and engaging activities, the students explored and appreciated the rich cultural heritage of China, fostering international friendships and exchanges between Chinese and foreign students.
“My journey in China is over, but my journey of learning Chinese culture has just begun,” said a member of the camp during the graduation ceremony. Peng Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, highlighted the rich histories and deep cultural traditions shared by China and Poland during a visit to China’s National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) on Monday. Accompanied by Agata Kornhauser-Duda, wife of Polish President Andrzej Duda, who is currently on a state visit to China, Peng noted the increasing vibrancy of people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two nations.
During their visit, they enjoyed performances that included traditional Chinese folk music, Peking Opera, and piano compositions from both countries. Additionally, at Tianjin University of Technology, 24 Polish students participated in Chinese language courses, cultural lectures, and engaged in activities such as calli.
