In preparation

Three projects named in the centre’s plans. Their aims are drafts; dates, partners and how to take part are to be added.

  1. Centenary Commemoration

    A programme marking a hundred years of connection between people in New Zealand and China, through events, exhibitions and shared memory.

    The hundred years this project marks are to be confirmed.

  2. Young Leaders

    Giving young people from both countries the chance to represent their communities, work together and lead across cultures.

  3. 100 Stories

    Recording the stories of a hundred people whose lives connect New Zealand and China, in their own words and in both languages.
