About Us

Jiao Xie Center for Chinese Language and Culture gathers and relays Chinese resources in Rogaland County as well as Norway in general.

We are your point of reference for specialists within academia and business related to China. Currently, our main activity is a weekly Chinese language cafe, Tea Talk Time, for all who are interested to practice the language and learn about the culture.

The Chinese characters for Jiao Xie, 交谐 , refer to communication and harmony.
