13、“滕菁利用假期赴华讲学”
5至8日，滕菁受邀赴曲阜师范大学文学院为汉语国际教育专业研究生开设学分课程。以“跨文化交际”为主题，依托新省孔院的多语种和跨文化交际研究力量，用多年一线工作中所接触的鲜活案例，从心理学、伦理学、语言学等角度让跨文化交际知识生动起来，寻找多元文化时代的文化认同和沟通之道，提升跨文化交际技巧。也用这样一种方式让曲师学子们和加拿大文化来了一次亲密接触。
在此次系列高端课堂上，滕菁还带来了一副特殊的扑克牌。54个珍贵的镜头瞬间为背景，用54个恰到好处的单词诠释，无声的记录了新省孔院十余载的风雨历程。

在讲座中，滕菁为现场师生介绍了新省孔院的发展历程、汉语教师志愿者的工作情况及国外需求。同时，她用大量生动的教学案例讲授了跨文化交际中的关键技能和国际化视野的培养路径，为学校专业设置、人才培养及学生职业规划提供了有益借鉴。

14日上午，汉语教师刘晓唯所在的河景高中（Riverview High School）中国艺术汇演顺利结束，这场全部由高中师生及孔院教师完成的艺术汇演掀起了一场中国风的热潮。
从演职人员的安排到串场都有很多“小心思”，主持人为加拿大学生与国际留学生的组合，寓意着多元文化的包容贯通。舞龙开场，《青蛇》随后，动静结合展现东方之美。12年级学生李恪全中文演唱《假如爱有天意》，清晰地发音浑厚的嗓音，将这首歌曲演绎出了独特的感觉。
汉服走秀《梦》惊艳亮相，由志愿者许梦可的高中club及戏剧社成员完成。
除中国风外，互动性极高是本场晚会的另一特点。梁嘉怡除表演外现场进行了武术教学，刘晓唯与高中教师对唱《我和你》，歌词“我和你，心连心，相约在河景”道出了孔院师生真诚交流的心声与双方珍贵的友谊。随着场馆灯光褪暗，全体观众纷纷起立随音乐挥舞手机闪光，如同在星空下的一曲夙愿。但这并不是结束，陈志圣一曲二胡与鼓手搭配的《See you again》引发全场合唱，在欢乐与感动中谢幕演出。
晚会结束后收到了四百多分调查问卷回复，学生们表示这场晚会加深了对中华文化的认识，激发了自己的兴趣，对自己的学习生活很有帮助，会考虑选择汉语课程，在留言一栏中纷纷期待下次自己也能作为演员参与其中。
