The Confucius Institute at the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) joyfully organized its first Chinese New Year celebration, marking an important milestone in its mission to promote cultural exchange and strengthen ties between China and Cyprus.
The event was graced by the presence of the Chinese Ambassador to Cyprus, Mr. Liu Liantao, the CUT Rectorate, members of the University Council, academic and administrative staff, and a large number of students. The event began with a warm welcome from the Director of the Confucius Institute, Dr. Anna Nicolaou. This was followed by speeches from Ambassador Liu and Rector Zaphiri, highlighting the importance of cultural understanding and the growing collaboration between the Cyprus University of Technology and Chinese higher education institutions.
The event, which was held in a packed auditorium with over 150 students in attendance, was of particular significance to the 76 Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU students currently attending the winter school at the Cyprus University of Technology, the 19 postgraduate students from HDU who are studying at the Cyprus University of Technology in the joint MSc in Electronic Science and Technology program, as well as the four postgraduate students in Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Museology from Zhejiang University who are doing an internship at the Cyprus University of Technology. The event allowed these students to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Cyprus, while also giving local students the opportunity to have an interesting cross-cultural experience.
The event included speeches by student representatives and a lively cultural program, which highlighted the rich traditions of Chinese heritage. Specifically, the cultural program included a choral performance, a Hanfu performance, and a Tai Chi demonstration.
As we welcome the Year of the Snake, we embrace the symbolism of wisdom, grace, and prosperity. The Confucius Institute at CUT looks forward to further enhancing cultural and academic exchanges between China and Cyprus in the years to come.
