As we enter the Chinese Year of the Dragon there is activity all around Scotland to welcome the New Year. The Education Scotland website carries details of resources which can help schools to celebrate.
Here’s a few of the events taking place: a delegation from Shanghai visited several Confucius Classroom hubs, and their song and dance performance is being broadcast on our Glow TV intranet; the Ricefield cultural centre in Glasgow runs a Takeaway China festival with a particular focus on photography and film; and the Take One Action organisation offers a selection of four films about contemporary China, titled ‘China on the move’, each accompanied by discussion with expert speakers.
Out in Scottish schools, there are also events to mark the New Year. For example, in East Dunbartonshire the students at St.Ninian’s High School are participating in cultural and artistic workshops and performances.
