To help foreign experts in Shanghai better understand the city and have a more enjoyable work and living experience, the 2023 Orientation Workshop for Foreign Experts, sponsored by the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (Shanghai Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs), was held recently and attended by nearly 30 foreign experts and their families from 17 countries.
The workshop included various engaging activities, such as lectures, a city tour, a Chinese learning seminar, and a cultural salon. It not only helped foreign experts further understand Shanghai's relevant policies but also brought them a rich and interesting learning experience, allowing them to feel the charm of Chinese culture.
The "Foreign Talents in Shanghai" Kunqu Opera and The Bund Salon, as the final part of the workshop, was held in the Bank of China Building on the Bund. Foreign experts visited the exhibition hall of the building and attended a lecture on foreign-related financial services.
During the salon, foreign experts dressed in opera costumes learned Kunqu Opera, and practiced calligraphy and painting on folding fans, fully experiencing the beauty of traditional Chinese art.
Foreign experts expressed their gratitude to the organizer for the well-planned workshop, which allowed them to further immerse themselves in Shanghai's culture, gain a deep understanding of policies and beneficiary measures closely related to their work and life, and help them better settle in the city.
