We are delighted to offer FREE tai chi sessions for University of Leeds staff throughout the month of June! Spend your lunch hour doing some gentle movement and discovering Chinese culture with our instructor Yueju Li.

Dr Catherine Hua Xiang unravels the nuances of effective communication in China. Her new book, 'Bridging the Gap', equips readers with the understanding needed to navigate cultural differences, making their cross-cultural interactions more successful and rewarding.

This event, jointly hosted by the Leeds Business Confucius Institute and the Leeds Centre for New Chinese Writing, will combine a presentation by multi-award-winning Chinese novelist Lu Min 鲁敏, with an interactive two-way translation workshop, facilitated by world-leading translators from Chinese into English and English into Chinese, alongside the author herself.

Unfortunately this event is now cancelled. Let us know if you want to hear about similar events in the future.
