TAG-Confucius Institute Holds Chinese Cultural Festival and National Day Celebration at Khawater Kindergarten
On September 29, TAG-Confucius Institute (TAG-CI) held a Chinese Culture Festival and National Day celebration at Khawater Kindergarten. Approximately 100 people attended the event, including Mr. Mamoun Abu Al-Sebaa, Jordanian Director of TAG-CI; Dr. Yang Songfang, Chinese Director of TAG-CI; Ms. Randa Al-Yabroudi, Deputy Director of TAG-CI; TAG-CI teachers; Ms. Heba Abu Shalbac, founder and principal of the kindergarten; as well as kindergarten teachers and children.
To give the children an opportunity to experience the charm of the Chinese language and culture firsthand, TAG-CI designed a variety of interactive cultural activities, including tea ceremony, calligraphy, picking up beans with chopsticks, trying on Chinese costumes, coloring the Chinese national flag, singing a Chinese song, and watching the video Hello, China. During the event, the children were divided into several groups and, guided by their teachers, took turns participating in the activities. 
The children participated enthusiastically, and the venue was filled with  excitement and joy. Principal Ms. Heba expressed her gratitude to TAG-CI for bringing the children such a rich and engaging Chinese cultural experience. She noted that the event provided the children with a valuable opportunity to learn about Chinese culture firsthand and appreciate its unique charm.
During the event, both sides also exchanged views on further cooperation in Chinese language teaching. They expressed their commitment to making full use of their respective strengths to provide children with more opportunities to engage with and learn Chinese. By introducing the Chinese language and culture to children at an early stage of language learning, the two sides aim to foster their interest in Chinese and promote mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of China and Jordan.
