We were delighted to celebrate the opening of “Lari Benezet – Vizaz dan Letan / Faces of Benezet Street Through Time” exhibition on 28th October 2026.

Over the past few weeks, Chinese Association of Seychelles has had the pleasure of welcoming three groups of secondary art students from Independent School as part of our 125th anniversary celebrations.
During their visits to the Seychelles Chinese Cultural Centre (Pagoda), the students explored our mini Chinese Heritage Exhibition, paid their respects at the Kwan Tee Shrine and, last but not least, enjoyed some delicious Chinese steamed buns.
It was a pleasure to share a little of our heritage and culture with the students. We hope they enjoyed their visits!

The 3 Chinese Photographers+ Exhibition came to a close on 7th October. Since it opened, we have been honoured to welcome members of the general public, especially our elderly citizens and young students from districts across the north and south of Mahé.

For our elderly visitors, the photographs brought back cherished memories and moments from the past. For the younger generation, the exhibition offered a chance to learn more about our history and heritage.

The Chinese Association of Seychelles warmly thanks the Department of Culture, Arts and National Heritage of Seychelles for its collaboration and support, and the Ministry of Local Government and Inner Islands for helping promote the exhibition across the districts and coordinating the visits.

It was a wonderful collaboration, and we are grateful to everyone who visited and helped make the exhibition a success.

Today, we welcomed 28 secondary students from English River and Belonie schools to a Chinese Arts and Cultural Immersion Youth Workshop at the Pagoda, as part of the Chinese Association of Seychelles’ (CAS) 125th anniversary celebrations.

The students had a wonderful time and were excited to learn about using chopsticks, calligraphy, paper cutting, opera face painting and making delicious spring rolls. They also had the opportunity to savour delicious bao and dumplings. The workshop was held in collaboration with the Confucius Institute in Seychelles and led by Father Aubrey Pon Waye, a member of the CAS 125th Anniversary Working Group.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this a memorable experience for our young students!
