High-Level Cultural Events

Sometimes its good to look back on what we have been doing during the past years. One big part of the associations work is High-Level Cultural Events. Here is a little text about them.

Since its establishment in 2016, the Finland-China Art and Culture Association has actively collaborated with the Finnish government, the Chinese Embassy in Finland, and Finland-China enterprises. It has organized multiple high-profile events, including "China Day" at the Finnish Parliament, the Chinese New Year Reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Finland, Helsinki-Beijing Week, and several China-Finland cultural performances at Helsinki’s Caisa Cultural Center. It has also hosted various community cultural activities, such as the Helsinki World Village Festival and the Helsinki Spring Festival Temple Fair.

The association has extensive experience in organizing large-scale cultural events. For example, the association’s celebration of Finland’s centenary, the "Award Ceremony for Alumni of Studying in China," made a significant impact within both Finnish and Chinese communities. The event, attended by over 1,000 people, included notable attendees such as Finnish Speaker of Parliament Maria Lohela, Chinese Ambassador to Finland Chen Li, several high-level Finnish officials, representatives from Finnish-Chinese enterprises, and other Finnish-Chinese friends. The event consisted of a large-scale professional art and cultural performance by artists from the Finland-China Art and Culture Association, followed by an award ceremony. It was organized by the Finland-China Art and Culture Association in collaboration with the Finland Alumni Association for Study in China, with support from the Chinese Embassy in Finland and the Finland-China Association.
