Two cultural programme families, three teaching languages
We group our school cultural programmes by teaching language so schools can match them to their language policy. The Chinese cultural programmes can be taught in Cantonese or Putonghua, the English cultural programmes are taught in English, and every programme can run on campus or out in the field.
Three core services for schools
What school administrators book us for most often, each with its own page.

Chinese cultural programmes
Chinese cultural activities (taught in Chinese)
Delivered in Chinese by our Chinese-speaking instructors, covering intangible cultural heritage workshops, Chinese cultural performances and large cultural day events. Schools can choose Cantonese or Putonghua teaching to match their language policy, or run the same activity in both.
Cantonese programmes
Chinese cultural activities taught in Cantonese, suited to schools following the local curriculum. Instructors explain and demonstrate in Cantonese and draw on Hong Kong examples, connecting traditional crafts to the culture students meet in daily life.
- Heritage workshops: calligraphy, paper-cutting, dough figurines, Chinese knots, tea ceremony
- Performances: Cantonese opera, face changing, lion and unicorn dance, Chinese music
- Cultural days: booth activities and the Explorer Challenge
Putonghua programmes
Chinese cultural activities taught in Putonghua, ideal for schools teaching in Putonghua or running a Putonghua day. Instructors explain and interact entirely in Putonghua, so students practise listening, speaking and cultural vocabulary while taking part.
- Putonghua day activities: performances, workshops, booths
- Cultural vocabulary and task-based language practice
- Works alongside Putonghua recitation, speech and drama
English cultural programmes
English cultural and STEAM inquiry activities (taught in English)
Cultural and inquiry activities run in English, so students use English for real tasks while exploring cross-cultural comparison and scientific inquiry. Suited to English lessons, cross-curricular theme weeks and English activity days.
English programmes
Led by English-speaking instructors who bring world festivals, customs and traditional crafts into the classroom and hall. Students discuss, present and make things in English, using the language in a real context while building cross-cultural understanding.
- English activity days: booths, classroom activities, world culture crafts
- English drama and Western music performances
- English STEAM inquiry and hands-on making workshops
Two service settings
Beyond teaching language, programmes can run at your school or out in the field.
