Meet Culture

Meet Culture We are dedicated to building an international cultural exchange platform, in order to promote cultural exchange activities between Chinese and Western culture.

A culture exchange company based in Athens and Chengdu, focusing on the exchange between Greek and Chinese culture through music, traveling and educational programs. Meet Culture was founded in Athens, Greece, the birthplace of Western civilization, and meanwhile deeply rooted in China, also an ancient country with the of history of thousands of year. Besides inheriting and popularizing Chinese tr

aditional culture to Western people, we are also wishing to provide better chances for Chinese people to gain deeper and thorough understanding of Western culture. With rich resources of Chinese traditional cultural circles and years of overseas working and living experiences of both founders, we are committed to boost Chinese-Western cultural exchange activities from a broader and deeper perspective, hoping to deepen mutual understanding between Greece and China, the two ancient civilizations, whose people can experience each other’s comprehensive and profound culture. Traditional culture is a nation’s accumulated material and spiritual wealth which created and inherited from their history. As the successors of Chinese traditional culture, we realized that the revival of Chinese traditional culture is bound to meet with other civilizations and developed into a new form of culture while preserving its true essence. We believe the revival of traditional Chinese culture trend will accelerate the development of Meet Culture as a bridge between China and the Western world. Now we are having representative offices in Athens and Shanghai.

Icarus Wings - A Theatrical Performance by Chinese Children's Theatre Group

This theatrical performance was co-created by me and my students based on the story about Daedalus and Icarus in Greek mythology. The children were trying to think about why Icarus didn't listen to his father but flied to the sun. They have their own answers and understandings. They also reflect their own experiences in life to the story. Besides the lines, the children tried to express through their bodies. This play was a result of the drama class of Tianfu No.7 High School Primary Section, which has made drama as compulsory curriculum in the school based on drama in education.
