The ‘Culture taster workshop’ held by Confucius Institute for Business London (CIBL), was apparently in full preparation during the Chinese Spring Festival. CIBL staff headed to well-known enterprises carrying out Culture Taster Workshops, including HSBC, Bank of England, Barclays, Standard Chartered, JP Morgan, EY, PwC, Deloitte, H+K Strategies, the British Land... The workshops attracted staff in the enterprises to learn customs of Chinese Spring Festival. Chinese and non-Chinese staff all experienced how ordinary traditional folks enjoy the festival through a variety of activities.

CIBL brought Brushes, Inksticks, Paper and Inkstones, New Year’s Card, Paper Cutting, Costumes and Tea sessions to the companies. In addition, CIBL staff also prepared interactive activities such as writing the ‘FU’ character, drawing traditional Chinese painting, playing charade, giving Chinese names, doing eye exercise, drawing lucky lots and so on. The delicate props and ingenuity activities delivered a lively Spring Festival for the staff in enterprises, which also expressed the organizational ability and communication skills of CIBL staff. The orientation of CIBL and the language courses are virtually extended through all these well-hold events.
