08.12.20 Taiwan´s culture experienced virtually

Three students from the Thurgau University of Teacher Education primary school programme profited from a study week at our partner university, The National Taipei University of Education. The virtual study and cultural week took place from 30.11. – 04.12.2020. The students gained captivating insights into the Taiwanese culture and swapped ideas about certain topics, together with local and other European students. And all that happened virtually!

The students were shown how to make a traditional New Year`s lanterns with primary school children and how to include these activities, including the cultural background, into lessons. The NTUE had send a large parcel in advance including all the necessary materials to be able to carry out the activities, as the week included many artistic elements, such as how to make a typical Peking Opera mask, or an introduction into the art of Chinese calligraphy.  

The three students involved perceived their participation as a huge enrichment and were impressed by the friendliness and «hospitality» of our Taiwanese partners!
