CPN's Christmas party for children, Dec. 20

Dear all,

This is to announce that CPN will organize a Christmas party for all the kids of CPN members. The scheduled date is Saturday December 20, and the location is Forskningsparken (the same place as for CPN's annual meeting this year).

The party will be a joyful opportunity for all the kids to celebrate Christmas together, while giving the parents a chance to hear expert's advice on education and also exchange experience between each other. (This activity is part of a CPN-led project that is funded by Oslo kommune.)

The following is a tentative schedule of the Christmas party:
# 14:00-14:15 Reception and welcome by CPN president, Zhang Xiuhua
# 14:15-16:00 Christmas party for kids (quiz, entertainment, competition, Christmas gifts, and more)
# 14:30-15:30 An invited lecture with discussion for the parents, to be given by Chen Lingyuan from the Faculty of Education, University of Oslo. The lecture will address issues such as personal identity of the second-generation immigrants, gap between parents and kids, cultural shock, a comparison between the education systems in China and Norway.

For those who like to join the party, please send your registration to xingca_at_simula.no.
Please state the number of adults and kids, together with the ages of the kids. The deadline for registration is Tuesday December 16.

Best regards,

Cai Xing
