Leveraging Beijing's rich cultural heritage and our Center’s extensive network of artistic luminaries, the Beijing Global Center serves as a vibrant platform for fostering new perspectives and promoting art and cultural exchanges.
By collaborating with the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University Press, and many other campus units, the Beijing Center fosters collaborative programs that enhance engagement between the University and China, broadening global understanding.
We regularly host a diverse array of seminars, panel discussions, and workshops covering topics such as film and theater, fostering storytelling and performance skills; design and architecture, encouraging innovative thinking and aesthetic appreciation; and cultural heritage and artistic expression, nurturing intellectual and creative discovery.
