The CI students and Chinese staff participated with great enthusiasm in the Kenyatta University Culture Week, 2018. The culture week is an annual cultural festival that has been held at the University since 1992 and has become an important event in the University Calendar. This year the CI participated in the exhibition where students from all over the University were shown aspects of Chinese culture such as paper cutting, Calligraphy, the art of the Chinese tea ceremony, use of chopsticks and many others. The exhibition was organized by the Chinese volunteers and lecturers with the supervision of the Chinese director. The CI also participated in the opening ceremony at the Bishop’s square by staging a thrilling martial arts presentation by CI martial arts students led by their Chinese instructor, Mr Wang Sen. The Confucius Institute also participated in the cultural extravaganza with a Chinese dance and later a display of Chinese traditional costumes during the fashion show presentation. The CI also contributed two banners for the Culture week publicity sub-committee.
