Learning happens everywhere in China! From mastering the dragon dance, creating lacquered fans, and exploring woodblock printing, to performing puppet shows and collaborating with new friends—every moment is unforgettable! @MEP_Excellence @BritishCouncil
First day in Chengdu- visited the Chengdu City museum, walked around the People’s park with traditional tea room, had dinner in a traditional Sichuan restaurant. In the evening, our scholars learned some dance moves with the locals at a square @MEP_Excellence @BritishCouncil
We’re delighted to be taking part in the Mandarin Excellence Programme and would like to join in celebrating its 10 year anniversary!

The Mandarin Excellence Programme summer camp kicked off in Beijing on 3 July!
Nearly 1,200 students from 62 UK secondary schools are embarking on an 11-day immersive journey across 11 cities to explore the Chinese language and culture.
From classroom learning to hands-on experiences, the camp offers more than just Mandarin skills－it will be memories for a lifetime.
Chinese student helpers organised a range of fun sporty activities and much fun was had by all the MEP students in the sports ground. A quick stop via the Seven11 for snacks then back to the hotel to get some well earned rest. Another great day! 3/3 @MEP_Excellence
Then following more football, lunch, a Chinese animated film in the auditorium, some modern art, basketball and dinner, the sports evening began! 2/3 @MEP_Excellence
In class yesterday, our MEP scholars learnt about the Chinese school system and made comparisons with the British school system. They had a little impromptu Chinese morning exercise dance to refresh their minds before the break. @MEP_Excellence 1/3

On Friday, our Mandarin scholars were busy with traditional Chinese paper cutting, calligraphy writing and face mask painting in the style of the Peking Opera (no opera singing required!). Building upon their cultural knowledge and learning some arty skills! @MEP_Excellence
The prestigious MEP Intensive Study in China officially opened with many important dignitaries from the British Council, Department for Education, UCL Institute of Education and the Beijing Language and Culture University. We were super proud of our student’s opening speech.
Our MEP scholars and staff landed safely in China on Wednesday 2nd July. @MEP_Excellence
First day at school! Scholars enjoyed a lesson on hobbies and sports, creating their own poster presentation about which hobbies they do depending on the season and weather.
I am delighted to report that Beths won first place in Mandarin in their category, alongside with Spanish! Huge congratulations to our scholars who participated in this competition and to Samuel F, Luca S, Justin S and Gabriel C for winning their debates. 2/2
On Tuesday 24th June our scholars took part in the South East MFL Debate competition, competing against strong teams from Bexley Grammar School, Dartford Grammar School and Eltham College 1/2
