About China Stars Events
China Stars Events, founded in 2004, is a Brisbane based organisation with a full time office in Beijing. Its focus is the organisation and presentation of quality team sport events and non competitive music festivals in International locations. Participants are able to enjoy significant cultural exposures and experiences as well as participating in excellently organised events.

2012 our biggest event ever.
36 teams and just under 500 participants from
Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, China took part
in an incredible week in Beijing!!

China Stars Events held its first event, the China Stars International Friendship Games, in August 2005 and now holds this annually around the Easter period. Over the years it has grown and now offers competition in girls' hockey, tennis, football, netball, and boys' football and tennis. Teams typically come from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and of course, host country China. Whilst competition is always well fought the Games are also about enjoyment of sport and exposure to the cultural differences of China. The Games have a special feeling and life long friendships get built between participants from the countries involved.

Photography, media/film and television, arts/drama stream

Converging and diverging from the music program will be a stimulating and varied photography, media/film and TV and arts/drama program. Students capture the real Beijing at early morning markets, in hutong street walks and visits to not only well known but also out of the way places. Arts/drama students will attend their own early morning tai chi class at the Temple of Heaven, visit kung fu and Beijing Opera schools and the National Theatre. A highlight for all of this stream's participants will be a visit to the exciting and eclectic District 798 Art Precinct.

Why come to one of our events??

Over the years the organisers of China Stars Events have been involved with many successful annual international school age events. With 15 years education and sports coaching background followed by nearly 15 years of event experience we know

- what young people are looking for ( fun, socialising, meeting people from other countries, seeing and visiting things not available in their home country and playing good quality games );

- what coaches are looking for ( good quality competition and playing venues, building teamwork and team bonding );

- what parents are looking for ( value for their hard earned dollars, experiences for their children that help broaden their view of the world, safety and care ).

Our events provide all of these and more. And what better way to get these experiences than by venturing to countries that offer a totally different cultural view of the World.

China Stars Events is an event organiser that works in conjunction with your chosen travel agent. We do not organise your flights for you - our speciality is organising your competition at the level that is appropriate to you. China Stars Events will only work in conjunction with a travel agent licensed in your country and will direct any enquiries about travel arrangements back to them. Please see our Worldwide Travel Partners page for the recommended agent(s) in your country. Whilst you are not bound to use them, it is a requirement that the agent you do choose is licensed.

With its Head Office in Brisbane and a Representative Office in Beijing run by a native Beijinger and with its long term extensive relationships in China, China Stars Events looks forward to being able to take you and your team or group for an experience of a lifetime.

reach out - build bridges©

China Stars Events has launched a community involvement program in Beijing called reach out - build bridges . Our first intiatives were to invite a local primary school to perform traditional Chinese music and ethnic dances at our 2010 Opening Ceremony and then to run a tennis coaching clinic for primary age players. Other initiatives saw Chinese school music groups performing at tutti world youth music beijing concerts in 2011. In 2013 Griffith University will partner China Stars Events to provide 10 scholarships to talented young Chinese musicians to attend tutti world youth music beijing 2013.
