On July 28, seven international students from Zhejiang University of Technology joined the three-day "Focus on sustainable development, experience quality Hangzhou" summer camp with children from the Liangmu community in Hangzhou. 


In order to enrich the summer life of the international students, and help them gain a deep insight into Chinese culture and integrate into the local community, the International Exchange Center of the Zhejiang University of Technology has united with the Liangmu community to organize the international student team to carry out the social practice of "International students enter the community". Overseas students worked with children and teenagers in the community to create intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, learn bamboo carving, stone painting, and how to make a bamboo fan, etc.


"I think the activities are truly interesting, especially making Chinese handicrafts. Those young kids in the Liangmu community are really cute, and I told my friend that I could talk with them in Chinese about our daily life, favorite music, and home culture." Kinoko Lorain Nestory, from Tanzania, told to the reporter.



Additionally, over the course of three days, they visited the local enterprise park in Baizhang town, learned the development history of this small town, and collaborated on creative works with waste paper tubes, etc.


These activities were aimed at conveying the concept of "sustainable development". After completing this event, many international students expressed their amazement at the rapid revitalization of Chinese towns and the achievements of Hangzhou in implementing the concept of environmentally friendly.


"This event helps me better understand China because I haven’t seen this side of China before, and what surprises me is that the small village can produce such a big company." Kayombo Kasongo Hector from Congo said after visiting a local enterprise that produces and exports bamboo chopsticks. Jiang, head of the Zhejiang University of Technology for this event, said that "I hope that through this event, we could enable international students to learn about more enterprises in Hangzhou than Internet Giants like Alibaba."


Community is an important carrier of daily management and multi-communication for international students. We hope that through such activities, we can enhance the mutual understanding of international students and communities, promote multi-cultural exchanges, convey the current policies of the community, create a harmonious atmosphere in the community, and do our part to explore how to build an "international community".
