UM holds third Festival of Chinese Culture

To promote Chinese culture and create an atmosphere conducive to learning Chinese culture on campus, in local schools and in the local community, the University of Macau (UM) is currently holding the third Festival of Chinese Culture, which runs from October to December. Through a series of creative activities, students have the opportunity to learn about traditional Chinese culture in a relaxed manner, thus sparking their interest in Chinese history and culture and enhancing their understanding of Chinese heritage.

The third Festival of Chinese Culture is organised by UM, with guidance from the Department of Education and Youth Affairs of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR, the Culture and Tourism Department of Henan Province, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, the Education and Youth Development Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, the Macao Foundation, and the Federation of Associations of Cultural Sectors of Macau.

A series of warm-up activities and competitions have been held since the end of October, with core activities in full swing in November at the UM campus, UM’s base for the promotion of Chinese history and culture, as well as UM’s partner units in Henan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Zhejiang. Some activities will continue until December. The festival features three core series of activities: 1) lectures, promotions, and educational activities on Chinese history and culture; 2) exhibitions, performances, and demonstrations on Chinese history and culture; and 3) forums, seminars, and debates on Chinese culture and Macao culture. There are more than 60 activities in total. For more details, please visit https://go.um.edu.mo/kt50bmva.
