The Confucius Classroom Koper of the University of Primorska (KUK UP) was established in November 2014. It aims to spread knowledge of Chinese language and culture among pupils, students and the general public through educational activities and cultural events. KUK UP‘s main activities are courses, workshops and summer schools for all ages. The courses develop intercultural attitudes and communication skills, enabling participants to communicate successfully with Chinese people in the educational field as well as in the business world.
