With no events on the immediate horizon this month's newsletter is more reflective as we catch you up on our recent activities and say a fond farewell to the teachers who are leaving us this summer (in fact, they may be on a plane to China as you read this!)
We hope you will join us in wishing Yuqing, Yixuan and Yuanyuan all the best as they head back home and on to the next stage of their studies and careers.
Keep reading for pictures and links from our latest events and a round-up of interesting opportunities from various partners. Have a wonderful weekend!
Best wishes, The Business Confucius Institute team

In June we welcomed a diverse mix of students, staff and members of the public to enjoy theatre production Behind the Curtained Door. It was wonderful to see stage@leeds buzzing with activity and to play our part in promoting a sense of community on campus as well as celebrating the representation of Chinese characters in the play. |
