Chinese Language Week
New Zealand Chinese Language Week is on from September 26 to October 2, and there are lots of free resources in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Te Reo Māori available on www.nzclw.com
NZ Chinese Language Week is a Kiwi-driven initiative to encourage Kiwis to give learning Chinese a go. A growing part of our school system, Chinese language is a significant part of New Zealand’s story, with some Chinese families having lived here for over 150 years.
Each year, New Zealand Chinese Language Week helps people around New Zealand with events and activities to celebrate Chinese language and culture, including National Dumpling Day.
Food and hospitality are important to our cultures. Sharing delicious dumplings is a great way to include people and make them feel welcome – and it’s great fun!
