SUMMARY:2024/25 SACU/Peking University Essay/Art Competition
DESCRIPTION:2025 is the 60th Anniversary of SACU and so the aim of this year’s competition for senior school students is to encourage young people to explore the history of SACU through its digital archive database and other resources to produce a written essay or a piece of art. \n\nThe competition is now open and welcomes entries from all senior school children and there are great prizes for the winners! \nFull details in the flyer here \n\nTHEMES\n1. How do you see the contribution of SACU and its significance to us today?\nSACU was founded by Dr. Joseph Needham in 1965 with the support of others determined to promote intercultural and international communication globally. You are encouraged to explore the history of SACU\, by focusing on a person or on an event or events and tell us how you would promote understanding between different cultures and peoples today. \n2. How do you see the two capital cities of UK and China – London and Beijing?\nLondon and Beijing are both major world cities. To promote understanding between the UK and China\, the two capital cities should be able to work together in many ways. You may either present an understanding of aspects of one city in a foreigner’s eyes or do a comparative study of aspects of the two cities with suggestions on potential for collaboration. \nIf you have contacts with any senior schools please do forward this flyer to them. The competition welcomes entries from all senior school children and there are great prizes for the winners! \n

SUMMARY:How to Eat: A Confucian Guide to Dining Together
DESCRIPTION:How to Eat: A Confucian Guide to Dining Together – Lecture for SACU \nAre table manners important? Confucius once said: “Exemplary persons do not take leave of their authoritative conduct even for the space of a meal.”[1] Even during a meal\, one’s consideration for the comfort of fellow diners provide pertinent opportunity to cultivate consummate conduct (ren 仁). Beyond avoiding a faux pas\, eating together compels us to bring out the better part of ourselves with every mouthful. \n[1] The Analects of Confucius\, trans. Roger T. Ames and Henry Rosemont Jr. (New York: Ballantine Books\, 1998)\, 90. \nThis lecture is one of a series: \nA Practical Guide for Every Day – The Art of Living from the Confucian Tradition \nSeries two – Making Friends and Entertaining (Series two\, May – July 2025) \nLecture 5. How to Eat: A Confucian Guide to Dining Together (19 June 2025) \nThe event is free but registration is required. Please book on Eventbrite here. \nConfucius lived over 2000 years ago\, yet his influence remains very strong in China. During the Han dynasty\, ‘Confucianism’ was adopted as the underlying ideology for imperial rule and family order. Throughout China’s history\, Confucianism has been challenged\, reinterpreted\, and appropriated. From the 20th century\, after a period of disfavour\, politicians and educationalists in China are once again turning to Confucianism for guidance. \nTo understand what Confucianism is\, SACU is pleased that experts Dr Katherine Ngo and Dr Kelly Ngo\, from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David\, will be running a series of seminars for us in 2025\, our 60th year. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Katherine Ngo\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Kelly Ngo\n				\n		\n\n  \nThe event is free but registration is required. Please book on Eventbrite here. \nFull Programme of the Seminar Series here \nThe seminar series will run monthly on the third Thursday of each month at 7.00-8.00pm UK time (with a month’s break between each series). Just before each seminar\, a Zoom meeting link will be sent to those that have registered via Eventbrite. \nThese seminars are open at all. Attendees are invited to join SACU here. \nPhoto credits: Dr Katherine Ngo & Dr Kelly Ngo
