REDSTAR magazine, the largest and most acitve expat organization in Qingdao, is always working to inform and connect the international community. YCIS has long-standing relationship with REDSTAR, and frequently works hand-in-hand with them to meet the needs of the community and its students.
The art exhibition, which took place at REDSTAR headquarters, created a wonderful outlet for the nurturing of the students' creative ability and socialization of students from Qingdao's international community. Many children and young people participated, featuring art from students, ranging from ages 3 to 17. In addition to the art exhibition, YCIS provided fun for students of all ages, ranging from craft table to a polaroid photo booth. Divided into four age groups, the art was critiqued and observed, by qualified judges from within the community, and prizes were awarded to the winner of each group. While students socialized and enjoyed the activities, parents got a chance to mingle and admire their childrens' creativity.
