A Chinese cultural event featuring calligraphy and dumpling-making engaged students at a secondary school in Gozo, Malta, on Thursday, offering them firsthand experience of Chinese traditions.
   
The event, held at Sacred Heart Minor Seminary, was organized by the Chinese Embassy in Malta, the Confucius Institute at the University of Malta, and the China Cultural Center in Malta. It marked the third consecutive school Chinese cultural event.
   
In the school kitchen, teachers from the Confucius Institute guided students through the process of rolling out and assembling dumplings. Meanwhile, staff from the China Cultural Center introduced students to Chinese calligraphy in the school hall.
   
In January 2023, a Chinese reading corner was established at the school with the support of the Chinese Embassy in Malta, which donated over 200 books covering Chinese culture, history, and society. The corner has become a resource for students and teachers eager to learn about China.
