Events
To achieve her objectives the Chinese Indonesian Heritage Center must reach a wide audience. For this purpose the CIHC organizes an Open Day every two years, where scientists, researchers and others present various aspects of our history in an accessible way.
It also carries out these goals on other events such as TongTong Fair, symposia and small-scale events such as gatherings of Chinese-Indonesian associations, and giving interviews to the press in the Netherlands and beyond.
The fourth public day will take place in 2018. Further information follows.\
