Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Confucius Institute Organizes Chinese Joy Day and Launches Chinese Language Education in Kindergartens

Amman – The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh–Confucius Institute organized a “Chinese Joy Day” at Little Professors Kindergarten, as part of its efforts to promote the Chinese language and culture in Jordanian society and expand Chinese language education to children at the kindergarten level, contributing to nurturing a generation that is open to global languages and cultures.
The event featured a variety of educational, cultural, and recreational activities introducing children to the basics of the Chinese language and aspects of Chinese culture. The activities were designed to present the language to children in a simple, engaging, and enjoyable manner, while connecting language learning with cultural experiences, arts, and interactive activities. The event was supervised and followed up by the Institute’s Chinese Dean, Dr. Yang Songfang, who participated in overseeing the implementation of the event and monitoring the educational and cultural activities presented to the children.
On the sidelines of the event, the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh–Confucius Institute signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with “Khawater” Kindergarten and “Little Professors” Kindergarten, respectively, to establish cooperation in the field of Chinese language education for children. The agreements aim to implement specialized educational programs tailored to the target age groups and promote early exposure to the Chinese language.
The agreements form part of the Institute’s efforts to expand the base of Chinese language learners in Jordan and reach students at an early age. Little Professors Kindergarten is the first kindergarten in Jordan to introduce Chinese language education, marking a pioneering step that reflects the growing interest in the Chinese language and its importance in the educational, cultural, and economic fields.
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh–Confucius Institute Director, Mamoun Abu Al-Sebaa, emphasized that organizing “Chinese Joy Day” and signing the two MoUs represent a new step in the Institute’s efforts to expand Chinese language education in Jordan. He highlighted the importance of introducing languages at an early age, given their 

role in developing children’s linguistic and cultural skills and broadening their understanding of the world.
Abu Al-Sebaa said: “At the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh–Confucius Institute, we believe that teaching Chinese to children at an early age is a genuine investment in the future. A child who learns a new language is also introduced to a new culture, opening broader horizons for communication and learning.”
He added: “We are proud of our cooperation with Khawater Kindergarten and Little Professors Kindergarten, and particularly proud that Little Professors Kindergarten is the first kindergarten in Jordan to introduce Chinese language education. We look forward to expanding this initiative to include more kindergartens and educational institutions across the Kingdom, in line with the Institute’s role in promoting the Chinese language and culture and strengthening the bridges of communication between Jordan and China.”
The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh–Confucius Institute continues to implement educational and cultural programs aimed at promoting the Chinese language in Jordan and enhancing knowledge and cultural exchange through cooperation with educational, academic, and cultural institutions, while developing training and educational programs that respond to the needs of different age groups.
