Since 2015, we have relished the process of bringing numerous cultural events and workshops to audiences throughout the southern region of Denmark, helping to promote awareness and understanding of China, its language, its history, and its business opportunities.
Our vibrant events calendar has enabled members of the public, as well as the business world, staff and students, to access and explore China’s rich heritage and culture.
Since the opening of IBA Confucius Institute in 2015, we have offered many different opportunities to engage with China - from Chinese language, culture and business courses, to business forums, to dumpling-making workshops and tea ceremonies, as well as musical performances.
