2025 Online Chinese New Year Festival


  • Clock outlineMonday 27 January 2025, 09:00 - 15:00

To celebrate this unique time of year, we invite schools, colleges, home educators and special interest children’s groups to discover Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival.

On Monday 27 January, we will be holding another Online Chinese New Year Festival.

Since its inception in 2022, these festivals have been hugely popular with schools with hundreds of pupils across Wales taking part. In the past, children have experienced a range of live and recorded sessions with Cardiff Confucius Institute tutors, including learning about the origins and traditions of the Spring Festival; enjoying hands-on activities such as lantern making and calligraphy; and learning expressions in Mandarin for this special time of year.

In 2025, we will be holding short live sessions for Key stage 2 children all morning, and for key stage 1 in the afternoon. They will include an introduction to the festival, discovering the Chinese zodiac, storytelling, making door decorations & firecrackers and more!

If you are unable to join the festival live sessions, you can access recordings of them to use in your own time.
