The 19th Annual Chinese Teaching Conference took place on Saturday 12th November 2022 at the UCL Institute of Education, University College London. This year’s conference theme was ‘Be the Change’ reflects the idea that you can attend any of the workshops and there’ll be ideas for you to take back and implement during this academic year. You can make a difference.
