It’s time for our end-of-year review.
It has been, again, a tough year for everybody: the haunting COVID-19 problem, the energy crisis, the war, the economic recession in the air…… it’s quite not a best of times, well, it’s neither the worst of times.
At hihilulu, we learnt to be resilient and positive, especially, we are so lucky being in the early child education where we spot more hopes and more inspiration.
In 2022, hihilulu continued to build partnership with international schools and Montessori schools around the world. We saw hihilulu Ateliers settled, outside of Paris, France, in Boston, in Casablanca ,in Dubai , etc..

In 2022, hihilulu together with Professor Joël Bellassen had operated 4 Chinese teacher training camps. Our teacher training camp not only allows us to provide sufficient and qualified modern teacher resources to our partner schools, but also to advocate and to promote Dualism Approach ( also called Bellassen Approach) in Chinese teaching in early Chinese education for non-native Chinese children. Armed with new methodology and continued training, hihilulu teachers bring more effective pedagogy and more productive result to hihilulu Chinese atelier around the world.

To end this review, we introduce two Chinese characters here to start 2023:
The first day of the first month / 一月一日of a year is called 元旦 Yuándàn.
元 originally means the head of a person, and is used to express beginning, origin, basics etc.
旦 as a pictograph, it presents that sun rises above the horizon, indicating dawn, daybreak, new birth, etc.
It’s a new beginning,
it’s a new day,
and it’s a new year!
