About NZCLW

New Zealand Chinese Language Week is a Kiwi-driven initiative launched in 2014 by Chair Jo Coughlan and Raymond Huo. NZCLW is designed to increase Chinese language learning in New Zealand. The first of its kind in any Western country, NZCLW seeks to bridge the cultural and linguistic knowledge gap between China and New Zealand by delivering fun and practical initiatives that assist Kiwis to learn Chinese.
Now a popular event in the national calendar, we have many communities involved including school children, government officials, politicians (including the past three Prime Ministers), and business owners. If you would like to support us or be involved in the Week, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Host an event!
New Zealand Chinese Language Week wouldn't exist without our brilliant community hosting events and celebrating the week.
Every year we see schools, libraries, workplaces, and community groups across the country find creative and meaningful ways to celebrate. Let us know what you’re planning so we can help celebrate and share your event with the wider NZCLW community!

Unfortunately, due to rising costs and a high level of geopolitical uncertainty, we have decided to postpone the NZCLW 10 for 10 trip to China scheduled for May at this time.
We are heartened by the number of amazing applicants who expressed their interest, and we are investigating different initiatives within New Zealand that they can take part in during NZCLW.
