On May 9, 2025, the University of the Western Cape (UWC) hosted the “Walk for Peace” event, which drew enthusiastic participation from faculty, students, and members of the local community.

As part of the event, Dr. Yang Hang from the Confucius Institute led participants in practicing Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese Qigong exercise. By promoting muscle relaxation and breath regulation, this session served as a warm-up for the walk while showcasing the unique appeal of traditional Chinese medicine.

Both UWC and Confucius Institute directors signed the Peace Wall, calling for unity and peace, and highlighting UWC’s commitment to its social responsibility as an educational institution.

a walk for peace combined with a baduanjin session is a thoughtful way to engage the community. it's good to see traditional practices like qigong being shared in such a setting. the focus on relaxation and breath work before the walk makes practical sense. events that blend cultural exchange with a simple, positive message often have the most genuine impact.

This peace walk is such a meaningful idea, and I’ve been enjoying cookie clicker 2 lately too—it’s a fun way to relax after reading about events like this.
