Schools & Kindergartens – “Chinese Culture” Program

All-day program

“Chinese Culture” at Dresden schools

With our all-day school program (GTA) “Chinese Culture” we bring Chinese language, writing and traditions directly into everyday school life. Children discover characters and calligraphy in a playful way, learn their first words and phrases, and experience Chinese festivals, games and movement arts.

We currently run the program at the 30th Primary School Dresden. For the coming school year we are looking into extending it to further Dresden schools.

Would you like this program at your school? Talk to us – we are happy to hear from interested schools, teachers and parents.

Writing & calligraphy

The brush as a first step

In the all-day program, calligraphy is often the way into Chinese writing: stroke by stroke, the children unlock a character – and with it a piece of language and of thinking. Practice sheets with a red grid give structure, while brush and ink turn writing into a calm, focused art.

What begins playfully in primary school, older pupils carry on to their first characters of their own – an activity that trains fine motor skills, patience and cultural understanding all at once.

For the youngest

Kindergarten collaborations

For kindergartens in and around Dresden we create age-appropriate encounters with Chinese culture – as a single project day or a regular collaboration.

Tea ceremony

A child-friendly introduction to traditional Chinese tea culture – with all the senses.

Chinese fairy tales

Storytelling and small performances from the rich treasury of Chinese tales.

Cooking & chopsticks

Preparing simple dishes together – and mastering the great art of eating with chopsticks.

Archery

First experiences with Chinese archery, safely and age-appropriately supervised.

Lotus folding

Fine motor skills meet tradition: paper folding around the lotus blossom, a symbol of Chinese culture.

Children's dance

Classical Chinese children's dance – movement, music and the joy of performing together.

We welcome individual enquiries from kindergartens in and around Dresden. Get in touch – together we will find the right format.
