Children of Hangzhou: Connecting With China May 4, 2010

'Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China' is an exhibit designed to engage children and families in learning about one of the oldest civilizations - and now among the most modern in the world - through some of its young people. 'Children of Hangzhou' presents four children from Hangzhou at home, at school, in the library, in the theater and in the countryside. The Hangzhou young people will introduce themselves through media and the activities of their daily lives. Visitors will discover that Chinese life today mixes ancient traditions with modern lifestyles and that life in China is both similar to and different from life in North America. The young Chinese in the exhibit will be a bridge to learning about China and building cross-cultural understanding.
