The Confucius Institute of the University of Banja Luka organized a series of interesting activities in September this year in honour of the International Confucius Institutes Day.
On 19 September 2024, representatives of the Confucius Institute and colleagues from the University of Banja Luka marked this day by making the traditional Chinese dish jiaozi at the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Banja Luka, together with the Chinese master chef from the "Shandong" company and the staff of the "Szechuan" Restaurant.
Visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the role of food in the development of Chinese culture and its importance and symbolism in China, as well as to try themselves to make Chinese dumplings or jiaozi, which are usually prepared during the most important traditional festivals in this far eastern country.
On the same occasion, on 23 September, the Confucius Institute organized a workshop on the traditional Chinese art of kung fu for pre-school children at the "Waldorf" Kindergarten in Banja Luka, and on September 25 and 26, it held Chinese culture quizzes for Banja Luka Grammar School and secondary and primary school students in Doboj Grammar School.
Confucius Institutes around the world traditionally celebrate this day in September and organize various events where the general public can learn more about the Chinese language, as well as the culture and customs of China.
