SUMMARY:Wellington Koo: The Top Diplomat in the Republican China
DESCRIPTION:A graduate from Columbia University with a Ph.D. in international law and diplomacy in 1912\, Wellington Koo (顾维钧) witnessed and participated in many historical international events in the Republican era of China. He was China’s plenipotentiary to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919\, where he made a decision that would steer the history of China and leave his mark on world history by refusing to sign the Treaty of Versailles; served as the Ambassador to France\, Great Britain and the United States; was a participant in the founding of the League of Nations and the United Nations; and sat as a judge on the International Court of Justice in The Hague from 1957 to 1967. Between October 1926 and June 1927\, while serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs\, Koo briefly held the concurrent positions of acting Premier and interim President of the Republic of China. While his presidency was brief\, his extraordinary lifespan of 97 years makes him the longest-living person to ever have led China.

SUMMARY:J O B – A Simple Man
DESCRIPTION:In an intense and musical dramatization\, J O B – A Simple Man tells the story of an emigrant’s journey from the old world-a little village in Russia-to the new world in New York. Mendel Singer\, much like Job in the Hebrew Bible\, loses everything. He despairs and curses\, but ultimately experiences a miracle. Adapted by Karen-Maria Bille from Joseph Roth’s 1930 novel of the same name\, this powerful production stars award-winning Danish actor Ina-Miriam Rosenbaum in every role. Rosenbaum is directed by Rolf Heim and joined onstage by principal oboist of the Danish Royal Orchestra Henrik Goldshmidt and Indian-Danish accordion virtuoso Anders Singh Vesterdahl. As audiences follow Mendel Singer from joy to deep despair\, and through to hope and comfort\, the performance’s offbeat music lifts the story of one person into a universally relatable tale about the experience of being a refugee and the challenges of encountering a new world.

SUMMARY:The Architecture of Trees
DESCRIPTION:Architects can spend years designing their buildings\, but trees have been perfecting their own architecture in response to their environment for eons. On a walk through Wagner Park\, in Battery Park City\, we will draw the trees around us to understand their likeness to skyscrapers! The structures of trees and skyscrapers have a lot in common and we will learn about how trunks and branches support their leaves or needles and how roots create strong foundations. Recommended for 2nd-5th grade. This program meets at the Skyscraper Museum\, 39 Battery Pl. and is held principally outdoors. You must reserve a place for your child/family through the Eventbrite button. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

SUMMARY:Green Belt and Road: Is It Real?
DESCRIPTION:Top experts will share their insights and examine the possibilities and challenges associated with China’s Green Belt and Road Initiative. Since its inception in 2013\, the China-led Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been striving to promote economic development and inter-regional connectivity across the globe\, and over 140 member countries have joined the Initiative. To reduce the negative environmental impact of the investment in BRI countries\, China launched the Green Belt and Road initiative to increase BRI’s environmental sustainability and align its projects with its 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. What kind of projects are involved in the Green Belt and Road Initiative (GBRI)? What metrics are being used to make sure that these projects are environmentally sustainable? Is this a genuine effort to build a sustainable future\, or an effort to “green-wash” one of China’s largest foreign policy endeavors? Given the current geopolitical and COVID-19 situation\, what are GBRI’s most pressing challenges and most important opportunities?

SUMMARY:Fairy Tale Films: Son of the White Mare
DESCRIPTION:Based on a Hungarian folktale\, Son of the White Mare (Marcell Jankovics\,1981)\, is a swirling\, color-mad epic journey to save the universe. Reminiscent of the hallucinatory palette of “Yellow Submarine” and the rich visual storytelling of “Fantasia”\, critics have deemed it one of the greatest psychedelic animated movies ever made. Free popcorn will be served\, and a discussion will follow the screenings. This film is rated PG 13.

SUMMARY:An Examination of Chinese Mythology (II): the Myth and Beliefs of Long (龙)
DESCRIPTION:Myths are enduring legends that help reflect and shape human relationships with nature and one another. To better understand how myths and mythology are interwoven within Chinese history and society\, the ECNU Center at China Institute presents “An Examination of Chinese Mythology\,” a new professional development workshop series for K-12 educators of Chinese language and culture. This workshop will offer a deeper knowledge of Chinese mythology\, expand perspectives and understandings of Chinese culture\, and enrich K-12 classroom teaching. In addition\, the series provides an opportunity for participants to discuss the complex yet changing relationship between nature and human society. Chinese mythology has a unique relevance to today’s China and the world. Beliefs and legends of “long（ 龙，lóng）”\, a mythical animal often translated as “dragon” yet drastically different in its visual representation and meanings in Chinese culture\, is one of China’s most important cultural symbols. Chinese are commonly considered to be decedents of long\, which represents beauty\, power\, and auspiciousness that affect every aspect of life today. Led by Professor TIAN Zhaoyuan\, “An Examination of Chinese Mythology (2) – the Myth and Beliefs of Long (龙) ” will provide an overview of Chinese mythology of long and its symbolic cultural roles in China’s past and present\, as well as its relevance in American K-12 Chinese language and culture classes. This online workshop will be conducted in Mandarin Chinese and is free for all K-12 teachers.
