HPF School - TCG Nordica, 9 Months

In the end of August every year, a group of students from Hyllie Park Folkhögskola in Malmö travels to far-away Yunnan in China, to spend 9 months in Kunming, learning about China and culture through the Scandinavian-Chinese Culture Centre TCG Nordica.

Culture Course in China
The culture students spends a two semesters long course in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, South China. There, they learn more about the Chinese culture through participating in the work of TCG Nordica as well as taking classes in a variety of interesting subjects such as Chinese Language, China Knowledge and Culture & Creativity.

The "Culture Course in China" is a profile course of Hyllie Park Folkhögskola's. It has been running since 2002 in close cooperation with the Scandinavian-Chinese Culture Centre TCG Nordica. TCG Nordica Involvement

At TCG Nordica the students have a great opportunity to be fully involved in the centre and its vision "Stimulating Reflection on Human Worth as Expressed in Various Art Forms". The students get hands on experience through arranging both stage and gallery events, practicing English with Chinese friends or even designing the monthly programme. There is also space for private initiatives through many different kinds of volunteer work. East meets West
Culture exchange – east meets west – is the focus point of the Culture Course in China. The students will have a chance

to share their own Scandinavian culture with local friends, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese customs. It is important that the students are flexible, eager to learn and have good cooperation and communication skills. Fluency in English is of course essential! The course results in a "Folkhögskola" diploma. Hyllie Park Folkhögskola
