【Activity Corner】

1. Red Envelopes of Your Life Philosophy:
Receiving red envelopes with “lucky money” is always one of the best parts of the Spring Festival for kids. This time, we’ll prepare red envelopes for everyone to share and exchange their life philosophy. (Good wisdom should be worth more than a bit of money, no?!) XD

2.  Intercultural Q&A:
China might seem very exotic to some. At the event, we will have a corner dedicated to intercultural exchanges. Non-Chinese students can put up their questions on our post-it notes. The Chinese students can choose to answer them by sticking up another note!

What do Chinese people eat for their three meals? What do people value the most in life? How different are each part of China? What are the big challenges in society? What are the biggest differences between China and Denmark?! …

Get your curious self out and take away some cultural insights!

3.  Photo Booth:
Of course, we want to capture these precious memories! There will be a selfie booth where you can take pictures with all your friends!
