Hey fam! 👋 Fancy taking a peek at the future of education?
This November, the eighth China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicked off at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, Chinese mainland, from Nov 5–10, 2025. With a record-breaking 430,000 sq m of exhibits and participants from 155 countries, regions, and international orgs, it’s one of the biggest meetups for global ideas! 🌍
Among the sea of visitors, Oliver Drew Robert—a British youth based in Shanghai—joined the expo for the first time. He was blown away by:
- The jaw-dropping scale of the displays 📊
- The crazy variety of exhibits 🎨🤖
- The sheer number of exhibitors from around the world 🌐
Oliver’s a big believer in educational exchanges—programs that let students and pros hop across borders to learn from different schools, universities, or companies. He hopes the expo sparks more cross-cultural cooperation projects so everyone can:
- Experience fresh learning environments 🎓
- Build real friendships across cultures 🤝
- Level up skills in a global setting 🚀
For students in Delhi, Jakarta, or Manila, events like CIIE open doors to learning beyond borders. Whether you’re eyeing a foreign uni, planning an intern stint, or just love binge-learning new stuff, global exchange events like CIIE are prime spots to discover upcoming programs and network with changemakers. Who knows—you might find your next big adventure at the next expo! ✈️
