CHINESE CULTURE,
BROUGHT TO LIFE.
For communities ready to experience it—and for a generation learning to carry it forward.
CCPF works with schools and community organizations to create participatory Chinese cultural experiences through story, food, craft and documentation.
YOU KNOW YOUR COMMUNITY.
WE BRING THE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE.
Our partners provide the audience, trusted setting and community knowledge.

MANY WAYS TO EXPERIENCE CHINESE CULTURE
A project might include:
• Tea tasting and conversation
• Calligraphy
• Food preparation
• Arts and craft
• Storytelling and presentation
Activities may stand alone or be combined around a festival, story or cultural theme.
Each experience is adapted to its audience, setting and purpose.
FIRST, EXPERIENCE. THEN, CARRY IT FORWARD.
Learn → Contribute → Document → Interpret → Create → Steward
A child may begin by listening or making. Later, they may prepare, welcome, photograph, explain or help shape an experience for others.
Responsibility grows through participation. Meaningful work comes before recognition.
LEARNING THROUGH REAL PROJECTS
A STORY CHILDREN CAN ENTER
At Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School, Chinese New Year became storytelling, jiaozi-making, calligraphy and paper-cutting.
CULTURE MADE TOGETHER—AND SHARED
Families prepared zongzi and jiaozi together. In selected projects, the food was shared through a community partner serving Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
STORIES WORTH CARRYING
CCPF documented the people and work behind community food distribution, preserving labour and relationships that often remain unseen.
BUILDING THROUGH PRACTICE
CCPF is a parent-founded, volunteer-led nonprofit. We are refining our work through several years of real projects and community relationships.
If your organization gathers people interested in Chinese culture, let’s begin with a conversation.
