The Year of the Mouse began with a launch event including Chinese music and magic, followed by a Dragon Dance and procession around the Main Site, and ended in the Junction foyer with a series of interactive cultural displays of Chinese calligraphy, zodiac signs, a quiz and more.

The Chinese New Year events, organised and co-ordinated by Queen's Language Centre and iRise – Queen's BAME and International Staff Network – will continue with a series of talks as part of the Chinese Cultural Forum 2020, which aims to promote a better understanding and experience of Chinese culture at Queen's and beyond.
