We commend the organisers of these collaborative events which are inclusive, colourful, artistic and in keeping with Chinese tradition and culture. This affords all those living, studying and working in our City a unique opportunity to saviour another of our many cultures which continue to add to the experience of living in Cork City in a very positive way. The Chinese Esoteric Buddhist School, the Unitarian Church and Nano Nagle Place are hosting this year’s events and Cork City Council are delighted to support them in organising this. The Lord Mayor, Cllr John Sheehan, commented “This is the second year of this festival in Cork and building o n last year’s success Cork City Council are delighted to support the festival again this year as a further engagement with our local Chinese Community, the Chinese Business Community and the many Chinese International students who come here to our UNESCO Learning City. We are extremely proud of the very active engagement we have with Shanghai and I was very proud to have visited the City as one of my first International engagements as Lord Mayor. The Twinning between our Cities is something we are very pr oud of and we cherish the relationships which have blossomed from it”.

Fifth- and sixth- class students from St Mark’s Boys National School and fourth-class students at St Brendan’s Girls National School recently graduated at the UCC Visitors Centre from their 10-week engineering programme run by Steam Education. Focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Maths, Engineering in a Box sees nine-to13-year olds working on the engineering challenges humanity faced throughout history. The students were supported by PJ Hegarty, Cork Prison and Cork City Council.
