On 9 June, the Joint Conference of Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms in South Africa was held at the University of Johannesburg. The conference was attended by Wu Tong, Deputy Director of the Department of Policy and Development and the Department of Programme Funding at the Chinese International Education Foundation; Fan Ding, Education Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in South Africa; and directors of Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms across the country. Participants exchanged views on topics including the use of artificial intelligence in Chinese language education, the development of specialised “Chinese Plus” programmes, and the training of local teachers.

During the conference, Sun Haofeng, Chinese Director of the Confucius Institute for Chinese Medicine at the University of the Western Cape, and Wu Changhong, its South African Director, delivered a presentation on Chinese language curriculum development and local teacher training. They also shared the Institute’s achievements and practical experience in recent years.


Participants agreed that Confucius Institutes should further strengthen their role as platforms for educational and cultural exchange between China and South Africa. They also called for greater exploration of innovative approaches to Chinese language education in the age of artificial intelligence, stronger local teaching teams, and continuous improvements in the quality and sustainability of Chinese language education. These efforts will contribute to deeper mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the peoples of China and South Africa.

What a fascinating conference! It's amazing to see how cultures can come together in such meaningful ways. Reminds me of the focus needed when playing drift boss—balance and strategy are key, just like fostering international relationships!

The funny character movements are probably my favorite part of ragdoll archers. Even when a match does not go as planned, the unpredictable reactions make it enjoyable to try again and experiment with different shots.

Delhi NCR has a highly competitive business environment, and building online visibility can take consistent effort. While exploring different options, I came across Digital Marketing Agency in Delhi NCR and started looking at the services businesses can use to improve their digital presence. I think combining SEO with website optimization, social media, and paid advertising can provide a more complete approach. Instead of focusing on one channel alone, businesses can test different methods, understand what works for their audience, and gradually improve their marketing strategy based on actual results.

Pico Image를 한동안 쓰고 있는데 이미지 리사이징이랑 압축할 때 편해요. 브라우저에서 다 돼서 서버에 업로드 안 되는 게 좋아요. 배경 제거도 꽤 잘 되고, 간단한 작업은 무거운 소프트웨어 안 켜도 돼요.
