Each Summer, the Confucius Institute offers a free week-long Summer School to members of the pubic across Leicestershire. During the week, participants have basic Mandarin courses which focus on practical communication such as greetings, asking for directions, dining etiquette, numbers, occupations, likes and dislikes and so on. In addition to Mandarin courses, they also attend workshops such as Chinese calligraphy, Chinese painting, paper-cutting, Tai Chi and so on.
