With the theme of "One Character Makes You Fall in Love with China", a series of activities aimed at promoting Chinese culture at the United Nations (UN) headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland were launched in Changsha on March 19, ahead of the 2025 International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations, which falls on June 10. It was announced that a Chinese cultural exhibition with the same theme will take place at the headquarters in June.

The exhibition is part of the efforts of the Hunan Song Dan Chinese Character Art Museum to spread fine traditional Chinese culture abroad. Since 2015, the museum has organized 61 exhibitions in the United States, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Spain, Croatia and other places.

The activities to be held at UN headquarters include an art exhibition tour featuring Chinese characters and intangible cultural heritage, a global youth dialogue on the integrated development of Chinese character art and science and technology, and booths highlighting cultural works and cities. They aim to form an international cultural exchange and cooperation model of civilized dialogues, cultural displays and cultural trade, showing the charm of Chinese culture to the world, and building a bridge for mutual learning among civilizations.
