Chinese Night

06 April 2024


6th Apr at Siyuan Auditorium, the 2024 IEW Chinese Night was successfully held. CI Mandarin learners, their friends and families, as well as UNNC students and staff all enjoyed a fantastic moment.

The gala consisted of 12 programs, including dancing, singing, dubbing, poem, musical instruments and costume show. The Mandarin learners made great efforts to design and practice the performances in the past month. It was a feast for all the audiences and actors to enjoy a diversity culture of the campus. It was also a gift from all the Mandarin teachers and learners for UNNC 20th anniversary.

This event was hosted by Nottingham Confucius Institute China Ningbo Branch and Department of Campus Life, organised by Mandarin Corner.
