Meet BRESC! The Belt and Road Youth English Speaking Competition (BRESC), initiated in 2019 by China Daily, is dedicated to providing a dynamic platform for cultural interactions between China and the countries and regions along the “Belt and Road.” The event includes qualifying competitions held in Belt and Road countries, semi-finals and grand final in China, and cultural tour programs.
The Confucius Institute at the University of Szeged, along with Eötvös József High School and Kossuth Lajos Elementary School in Szeged, celebrated Chinese Language Day with a colorful professional conference that immersed attendees in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Chinese culture. The event showcased new Chinese-language programs being introduced at the University of Szeged, included presentations on how smart pens can support language learning, and highlighted the biggest challenges students face in the Chinese-language component of their high school graduation exam in Hungary. Adding an authentic touch, the visiting team from Zhejiang University of Agriculture and Forestry treated participants to traditional Chinese tea.
