Chinese education centre to open in Newbridge

A new Chinese Cultural Education Academy (CCEA) is opening in the Educate Together primary school in Newbridge.

The CCEA will be launched on August 27.

The Chinese community continues to grow in Kildare and the rest of Ireland and experts say there is an increasing interest in Chinese Culture Traditions and Language.

The CCEA will have a key role in the teaching of the mandarin Chinese language, introducing people to many other Chinese traditions such as Kung Fu and the beauty and discipline of Chinese Traditional dance.
