Herwild

Herwild is a student-led cultural revitalization group empowering rural Chinese women artisans. Initially focused on minority artisans in Gang Village, Anhui, we later expanded to support artisans across Hebei, Yunnan, and other regions in rural China. We provided access to formal business training and mentorship, helping these artisans translate traditional skills into modern enterprises. Through our initiatives, we promoted the growth of rural communities while bringing Chinese cultural heritage to major cities across the country.

Sparksight

Sparksight is a major annual branded event at Shanghai Pinghe School. Each year, we invite six students and one teacher to deliver theatrical-style talks. This year's theme was the SDGs, with each speaker exploring sustainable development issues such as gender equality and poverty, drawing on personal experiences or current news events. The talks were insightful, engaging, and thought-provoking, attracting multiple experts and the school principal as supporting guests.
