WELCOME TO MLAs
MLAs (Mandarin Language Assistants) from the Confucius Institute are working in our Dunedin and Clutha Schools.
Dunedin Branch of NZCFS (New Zealand China Friendship Society) welcome them with a favourite walk and dinner.
Goals:
- to make MLAs welcome and introduce them to our Society in Dunedin as a support and resource
- to introduce our members to the MLAs – young Chinese people, where they are from, what motivates them, how their introduction to NZ and NZ schools is going;
- an opportunity for the MLAs to get together after a few weeks of school/culture shock, and an opportunity for MLA hosts to get together and compare notes
DATE: SATURDAY 12 MARCH
