Cantonese in Ireland was honoured to take part in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Dún Laoghaire, bringing a vibrant splash of Cantonese culture to the streets!

Time Difference (《時差》) is a non-fiction book about Ireland written in Traditional Han Charcters. In this talk, Hong Kong writer Ki Kwok (郭梓祺) introduces the ideas behind the book and reflects on his time studying Irish writing at Trinity College Dublin.

Looking for a fun and creative way for your child to start writing in Cantonese – without needing to know Chinese characters? Join our Online Cantonese Writing Course for Kids, where we turn spoken Cantonese into written stories using voice input technology!

Why is the horse—and not the sheep—called Ma in Chinese? When did horses first arrive in China, and what roles have they played throughout history? Join Fangzhe Qiu for an engaging online workshop exploring the linguistic and cultural history of the horse in China.

To celebrate the Year of the Horse, and as part of the Dublin Lunar New Year Festival, Alliance Française Dublin and Cantonese in Ireland are proud to present a free family event bringing together literature, art, and language around Le Cheval Magique de Han Gan by famous Chinese-French contemporary painter and celebrated children's book author/illustrator Chen Jiang-Hong.
