3,865 young volunteers to assist CIIE participants
As the 8th China International Import Expo approaches, 3,865 volunteers, affectionately known as "little leaves", are preparing to assist participants.
These young volunteers, recruited from local schools, earn their nickname from the expo venue's resemblance to a four-leaf clover.
This year, the volunteers, including 30 international students, will be stationed across various functions such as onsite guidance, registration management, guest liaison, media support, data collection, IT assistance, and healthcare services.
To enhance multilingual services for exhibitors and buyers, the volunteer service team has partnered with nine higher education institutions in Shanghai, including Fudan University, Tongji University, East China Normal University, and Shanghai International Studies University.
This collaboration has created a multilingual volunteer talent pool and established the CIIE Multilingual Volunteer Alliance. A total of 129 volunteers proficient in 12 languages, including German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic, have been recruited for this year's expo.
