The SK project aims to achieve the following objectives:
- the sharing of experiences among students and expatriates in Shanghai who have learnt or are currently learning Mandarin as a foreign language, and those who have pursued (or are currently pursuing) their degree in a Shanghai university.
- to provide references for newcomers and just about anyone interested in learning about Shanghai through the eyes of foreigners living here.
- to build "bridges" between cultures.
- to color lives of those who shared and those who wanted to ¡®hear¡¯ and learn from the sharing.
