About Us
Bluebird Chinese Association
As the Chinese poem goes, “there is not much road left to the fairy mountain, the blue bird diligently visits for me”. The blue bird is the embodiment of the messenger and a symbol of happiness. The Bluebird Chinese Association (Bluebird Chinese ry) hopes to become a bridge between Finnish children and Chinese culture through its own efforts, though which Chinese children living in Finland can also gain a sense of belonging to Chinese culture.
The association was founded in March 2022 by four mothers in their spare time.
Its predecessor is the Finnish Parent-Child Club. The club had 7 years of public welfare Chinese teaching history, and many years of experience of organizing public welfare activities. The WeChat parent-child group created by the club had become a parenting encyclopedia for Chinese parents in Finland, which provided everyone with a lot of convenience. The official WeChat channel of the club also provided timely information of a variety of parent-child activities, with significant influences in Chinese parents.
The goal of the association is to organize various activities to improve the environment of Chinese mother tongue in a planned way, implement more prescient, attractive and practical mother tongue improvement projects, and create more opportunities for children to improve their mother tongue. It can guide more families to pay attention to the growth environment of children’s native language, so that children can also learn high-quality Chinese mother tongue overseas.
At present, the association is offering 3 categories of Chinese interest courses, for all ages, a total of 14 classes, enrolling more than 120 students. It is planned to continue offering new interest courses in the new year.
In addition to the courses, the association has also organized various Chinese activities in the past year, enriching the parent-child time in Finnish-Chinese families. In the future, in addition to continuing to organize various public welfare activities, the association will also set up public welfare classes to provide more learning opportunities and learning resources for everyone.
The association welcomes more Chinese and Chinese enterprises in Finland to pay attention to the improvement of children’s native language environment, and work together to improve children’s native language ability!
