Today at ISE, we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with a beautiful fusion of Chinese and Korean traditions! Our dedicated Chinese and Korean teachers prepared an unforgettable experience, complete with traditional mooncakes, rice cakes, drinks, and interactive cultural activities. Students enjoyed games, music, and the opportunity to learn more about these rich cultures. They even shared their hopes and wishes on a special board, symbolizing unity and community spirit.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a major celebration in China, Korea, and Vietnam, marking the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. It celebrates the harvest, family unity, and the full moon, symbolizing harmony and prosperity. Traditional activities include sharing mooncakes and rice cakes, lighting lanterns, and enjoying cultural performances.
At ISE, this festival helps promote cultural understanding and celebrates the values of family, gratitude, and diversity within our community.
