Chinese Cultural Talk
Launched in 2015 by the Ministry of Culture, Chinese Culture Talk is a series of lectures on Chinese philosophy, religion, literature, cuisine, medicine and traditional culture-related subjects. It is sponsored by the Bureau for External Cultural Relations of the Chinese Ministry of Culture.
The Ministry of Culture selects three or four groups of young and middle-aged scholars to give lectures abroad every year with Chinese embassies, consulates, China Cultural Centers or local agencies around the world planning and organizing lectures or similar activities. Other ministries and social forces in China also send scholars to lecture abroad.
More than 70 activities and lectures have been held in more than 30 countries, including the US, France, Italy, Cambodia and Indonesia.
The content varies from philosophy, religion, cultural heritage, literature and art, costume, cooking and Chinese medicine.
