China Media Group (CMG) has launched its “Twinkle Star Project” animation tour in Nairobi, Kenya.
The event was attended by students from Mcedo Beijing School and the China-Kenya cultural center.
The initiative aims to promote cultural exchanges and integration between the Chinese and Kenyan people as Sino-Kenya relations mark their 60th year anniversary.
During the event, CMG screened a number of Chinese cartoons to enable Kenyan students to learn more about Chinese culture.
Fredrick Sango, a teacher from Mcedo Beijing School who accompanied his students for the screening, said that this initiative will deepen their knowledge on China-Kenya relationship.
He added that learners were excited because they saw it as an opportunity to know more about China and interact with Chinese children.
The exhibition tour is scheduled to run from June through December, during which caravans equipped with professional equipment will reach rural schools in Kenya and screen Chinese animation for local children.
Learners also engaged in activities that included a drawing competition aimed at enabling both Kenyan and Chinese students to learn about each other’s culture. “I look forward to some of my students winning and in the long run I hope Mandarin can be taught in Mcedo Beijing school,” said Sango during an interview with CGTN.
The “Twinkle Star Project” seeks to promote cultural exchanges and integration between the Chinese and Kenyan people.
This initiative is expected to enhance mutual understanding between these two countries while promoting education among young learners.
