Based at Shanghai East Normal University, you will spend 2 weeks learning about Chinese language and culture.

There will be a strong focus on language, however, the course also includes cultural lessons, for example, tai chi, calligraphy, Chinese tea-making and paper cutting.

There will be a range of cultural excursions to places of interest. A number of days will also be spent in Quzhou, Zhejiang province.

Upon completion of the course, participants are awarded a certificate.
