Welcome to the Mid-Autumn Festival and Welcome event, which is jointly organised by the Language Centre and BAME & International Staff Network, and supported by the Student Experience Team. This event aims to provide a space for staff members and students to meet and network, share knowledge and enrich intercultural experiences.
This event celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival with a taste of mooncakes and an appreciation of cultural performances. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Tuesday 17th September. We would like to invite students and staff members to join us in the celebration at Queen’s.
Date: Thursday 12th September 2024
Time: 14:00 – 16:30
Venue: Cube, One Elmwood
Please note that the mooncakes we provide contain traces of eggs and nuts, though we will organise some vegetarian snacks. Due to limited capacity of the Cube, we are only able to accommodate 80 people, on a first-come-first-serve basis. A waiting list will be managed if vacancies appear.
We also hope to take photos and may record some clips on the day. If you are not happy to be included, please let us know in advance.
I am a doctoral candidate and will arrive at Queen’s University on September 10th. I’m glad to hear that such a Mid-Autumn Festival event , and I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to participate in this activity.
I will take a camera to record the activities and take many impressive photos, and I will also wear traditional Chinese dress horse skirt or cheongsam to participate in the activities.
Hi Lilong, thanks for your great enthusiasm and you are already booked in. See you on the day with your costumes, would be great for photos 🙂
