The Calligraphy workshop will be done by a world-renowned Chinese Calligrapher, Haji Noor Deen Mi Guanjiang. Born in 1963 in eastern China's Shandong Province bordering the Yellow Sea, Haji Noor Deen lectures on the art of Arabic calligraphy at the Islamic College in Zhen Zhou, where he has also established a correspondence course to enable students from all areas of China to study Arabic calligraphy. In addition, he researches Islamic culture at the Henan Academy of Sciences. In 1997, Haji Noor Deen was the first Chinese Muslim to be awarded the Egyptian Certificate of Arabic Calligraphy and to be admitted as a member of the Association of Egyptian Calligraphy.

The IIT will also feature the eminent calligrapher in two exhibitions entitled "Beauty of the Word", as well as a children's workshop on Saturday, September 11.
