Now that the borders are open you might be thinking about hiring new staff from overseas, or welcoming VIPs to your company. Settling into a new country can be difficult, especially when the language and culture are quite different to what your staff or visitors might be used to. Here at Cultural Keys, we can help new arrivals prepare to come to Beijing beforehand and help them settle in once they are here!

Whether you are welcoming long term additions to your team, or hosting short term visitors, CK has a variety of activities that can make your guests feel welcome and provide a Chinese flavour to your event. Suitable for both one or two-hour events, options include:
- Calligraphy
- Ink painting
- Dough figurines
- Chinese knotting
- Fan making
- Lion dancing
- … And more!
Beijing Orientation Presentation
What is WeChat used for? Does Beijing have street food? Can I open a bank account? Where can I buy imported goods? Our Beijing Orientation Presentation answers all these questions and many more! Designed for new arrivals to Beijing, this presentation will help them feel more prepared for the new life ahead of them. The presentation is designed as a beginner introduction, making it suitable for people with no previous knowledge of life in China.
The presentation can be either in-person or online and is delivered by native English speakers. The standard length is 1.5 hours but can be tailored to your requirements. Contact us to receive your copy of our Beijing Orientation Presentation brochure!
Team Building
Help your team members, both new and experienced, bond! Group activities and team building events using the medium of traditional Chinese culture offer an insight into Chinese culture that many people, both foreigners and Chinese, may not have experienced before, and helps develop understanding and appreciation for the culture at a deeper level.
Team building through activities such as culture workshops, tours and presentations has been shown to be extremely valuable in the workplace. It aids development of Cultural Intelligence and Cultural Agility – helping your team members use more effective business practices by having a better understanding of their environment and the customers and colleagues they may be working with on a daily basis.
Our team building activities include workshops in dragon and lion dancing, a quiz, walks and more! Contact us to receive a copy of our team building brochure!

Mental health and wellbeing are at the core of a safe, happy and efficient work environment. If you are looking to introduce long-term wellness programs into your workplace, CK offers several programs that can help with that, including Qigong courses and presentation series. All our programs aid adaptation, reduce culture shock, promote bonding with local colleagues and increase connections with Chinese culture. Contact us to receive your copy of our wellness brochure!
