The Global network of Confucius Institutes (CI)
marked its 10th anniversary this year, and our local CI, based at The UWI St. Augustine celebrated it, along with its first anniversary
at the campus, with a day of activities at the Brian Lara Promenade in Port of Spain. Among them was a Lion Dance, and Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal, Professor Clement
Sankat was eager to try his hand at drums, while the Acting Ambassador for China, Ms Lan Heping, looks on encouragingly, and the experts give their nod of approval.
