Have a great summer! Gateway to China: STARTALK
The 2nd Annual STARTALK Mandarin Chinese Summer Program will be held at BCIU on June 13, 14, and 17-21, 2013.
The Berks County Intermediate Unit’s summer language program, Gateway to China: STARTALK - Language Learning through Performing Arts, is funded by the National Security Language Initiative (NSLI). NSLI was created in 2006 to promote the learning of less commonly taught languages.
Students will participate in hands-on experiences throughout the camp. A closing recital for parents, families, and community members will showcase student work. The final day of camp will be a field trip for all participating students.
