On June 2, CIAQU held a cultural activity to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in Chinese language class of Birzeit University, a teaching site, with more than 180 students participating.

At the beginning of the activity, the Chinese teacher raised six questions: Who is the Dragon Boat Festival commemorated? What to eat? What to drink? What to do? What to wear? What to hang? Students watched the video with these questions. After that, the students actively answered the questions. Then the teacher introduced the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in details. Afterwards, the teacher led the students to recite the classic fragments of "Li Sao" together. Finally, the cultural activity ended with students wrapping paper Zongzi together under the background music.

After class, student Omar liked the saying "The road ahead is long, I will search high and low", which impressed him deeply. Alan, a student, said making Zongzi was fun and inspired her love and desire for Chinese culture.
