Riga Children’s Hospital successfully held the “Creative Hand Painting- Panda ” activity

拉脱维亚当地时间6月14日下午两点，里加儿童医院成功举办了“大熊猫创意手工画”活动。

本次活动由中国驻拉脱维亚大使馆主办，拉脱维亚大学孔子学院协办。大使馆妇女小组组长孙晓霞女士及使馆代表，孔子学院汉语教师志愿者邹亚平、梁娟，里加儿童医院相关负责人参与了本次活动。活动最初，孩子们观看了“熊猫趣味瞬间”视频，笑声不断。紧接着，孙晓霞女士就本次活动进行了讲话。教学环节中，孔子学院汉语教师邹亚平向大家简单介绍了中国，进行了“孩子教拉语，老师教汉语”的亲密互动，孩子们在轻松愉快的氛围中学习了“中国、你好、再见、谢谢”等基础词汇，最后孩子们体验了用中国传统书法绘画工具“文房四宝”书写汉字“你好”，尽管是第一次用毛笔，可不少孩子都写得有模有样。画熊猫环节中，孩子们先了解熊猫的中文说法和熊猫最喜爱的食物——竹子，用“你好，熊猫”和中国国宝打招呼，随后在汉语教师梁娟的演示下开始了自己的大熊猫中国画创作，孩子们笔下的大熊猫或憨态可掬，或创意十足。

此次活动不仅给里加儿童医院的孩子们带去了温暖的关心与爱，还带去了中国优美的语言、汉字和文化。告别时，有小朋友走过来抱抱老师，扬着笑脸说“我未来要去中国看一看。”

At 2 pm local time in Latvia on June 14th, Riga Children’s Hospital successfully held the “Creative Hand Painting- Panda ” activity.

In the teaching session, first, Mr.Zou introduced China on the intimate interaction of “Children teach Latvia, teacher  teach Chinese”, and the children learned “China, hello, goodbye, Thank you” these simple words in Chinese in a relax and pleasant atmosphere. Finally, the children experienced the Chinese character “Hello” written by the traditional Chinese calligraphy painting tool. Although it was the first time to use the writing brush, many children can use it very good.
