Activities
  a. On September 25, 2007 , the CICU held the get-together party entitled “Learning Chinese, Celebrating the Moon Festival.” Participants included approximately 50 students and teachers, both Thai and Chinese. The event was very well-received and it was the first time the Vice President of CU attended the Moon Festival celebration at CU. All participants henceforth are looking forward to the same kind of activity as organized by the CICU. |

 b. During October 20-24, 2007 , the CICU organized a cultural traveling program called “Get to know Beijing through Chinese Language” for both students and teachers of CU and Sri Nakarinworote University . Thirteen people participated in this program and most of them came to visit China for the first time. They were content to see the Great Wall of China with their own eyes, to realize enormous progress and growth of China , and to witness the greatness of Chinese Culture. And they hope the CICU to organize a similar activity at regular intervals. |
