Martin Azzopardi, Nevile Calleja and Alexandra Golomovzaya, students from China Cultural Centre in Malta, shared their experience of learning and visiting China. The Mediterranean Regional Centre for Traditional Chinese Medicine made health-preserving soup, which delivered the concept and the method of cooking Chinese tonic food. Children participating in the activity learned to make lanterns and sweet dumplings. Tutors of Confucius Institutes popularized Chinese characteristics such as the zodiac and lanterns to the children and their parents.
