>The Chinese Language Institute of Alberta was invited to participate in the annual World Multicultural Festival in Peoria. The purpose and theme of the festival is to promote the world's multiculturalism and promote multicultural exchanges. Every year, the one-day event attracts more than 3,000 people. This year, the number has increased significantly, with nearly 5,000 people. The crowds are mainly families, which represents everyone's participation and attention to multicultural exchanges. The Peoria World Culture Festival includes cultural exchanges, displays, and performances from various countries and places. The Chinese Language Institute of Alberta promotes and introduces Chinese culture and Taiwanese folk art in this event, and shares the precious beauty of Chinese culture and Taiwanese folklore with everyone. The Chinese Language Institute of Alberta provides free instruction on calligraphy and painting, writing Chinese names and auspicious words, and painting bamboo and pine trees, which represent the evergreen pines and bamboos and the eternity of the world. It also provides guidance on the handicrafts of ribbon fish and paper origami and paper-cutting. The arts and crafts are welcomed and loved by everyone, and every family, with their young and old, lining up to share the results. The Peoria World Culture Festival adds more joy and joy to the Christmas season, and also enters a new and beautiful year with everyone's prayers and blessings. The United States is a melting pot of the world, with backgrounds and cultures from all over the world. Each culture represents uniqueness and priceless treasures, so it is very important to promote multicultural understanding and communication. In a multicultural world, everyone will be more cherished, more tolerant, and more harmonious. Culture is like a bridge, bringing each other closer and understanding each other, and also bringing tranquility, peace and harmony to the world. The Chinese Language and Literature College of Alberta volunteers to support various cultural exchange activities in various cities in Alberta every year, providing voluntary manpower and materials, integrating with mainstream American society to educate the next generation, passing on Chinese culture, spreading Taiwanese folk customs, and promoting multicultural exchanges.
