In 2025, it marks the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action. This year's International Women's Day is themed "For ALL women and girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment," calling on all parties to take action to strive for equal rights, equality, and opportunities for everyone, creating a future where no one is left behind. In conjunction with International Women's Day, the international students of IMSW Program presented festival flowers to the international students, organized a visit to the Jingcai Porcelain Museum, and facilitated the making of "intangible heritage" handcrafted brooches and bracelets, celebrating the festival through traditional cultural experiences.
At the Jingcai Porcelain Museum, the students listened to the history, craftsmanship, and different classifications of porcelain making, were amazed by the exquisite Chinese porcelain, and marveled at the beauty of the porcelain and the profound cultural heritage behind it.
Subsequently, the students moved to the workshop to learn about China's intangible cultural heritage, "Luo Dien," from the teacher. "Luo Dien" decoration has a history of thousands of years in China, with vibrant colors and fantastical beauty. The international students were enthusiastic about the opportunity to participate in hands-on creation and experience the intangible culture.
After learning and experiencing, the international students proudly displayed their flower baskets, handcrafted brooches, and bracelets on social media, further appreciating the charm of China's intangible cultural heritage handicrafts through practical activities.
