S1 - Social Media 101: Navigating China’s Digital World
Fri 13 Mar
|Zoom
Understanding social media in China shouldn't feel like deciphering a secret code. For our teaching staff and colleagues new to this landscape, it can be overwhelming. Is WeChat just for messaging? What on earth is happening on Douyin? And why does everyone keep talking about 'Little Red Book"?

About the Workshop:
I believe understanding social media in China shouldn't feel like deciphering a secret code. For our teaching staff and colleagues new to this landscape, it can be overwhelming. Is WeChat just for messaging? What on earth is happening on Douyin? And why does everyone keep talking about 'Little Red Book'?
That’s exactly why I’ve designed this introductory session: ‘Social Media 101: Navigating China’s Digital World.’ This isn’t a heavy technical lecture. Think of it as your friendly, practical guide to the big four: WeChat, Douyin, Little Red Book, and Bilibili and break down who uses them, why they matter, and how they fit into both your daily life and our school's story."
