A sharing and training session for collaborative projects under the Wuxi International Communication Alliance was held on Sept 12 at the Wuxi Daily Newspaper Group, with more than 10 project cases presented.
The projects, launched in April at Jiangnan University, were reviewed after nearly five months of implementation. The Wuxi Journalists Association and Wuxi Daily Newspaper Group organized the event.
Project presentations covered a range of initiatives, including city exploration tours for foreign residents, intangible cultural heritage experiences, a three-on-three basketball tournament, and a multilingual service website called "InWuxi". The projects highlighted progress in content creation, platform development, overseas distribution and event organization.
