Chinese Culture and History Programme Twice a week for one hour, 29 students in Grades 5–12 at Dover Campus gathered with teacher, Mr Jack Li, for a special after school activity, the Chinese Culture and History programme. This programme started in 2017, thanks to the generosity of a UWCSEA family who were keen to encourage students to deepen and widen their appreciation for the unique Chinese traditions and values, and at the same time, enhance their spoken Mandarin. For native Mandarin speakers, the programme allows them to connect to their Chinese cultural identity. And for non-native Mandarin speakers, the programme introduces them to the rich traditions of Chinese culture, which are fundamental to understanding and mastering Mandarin.
