The School Link Forum is HOPE’s annual event to promote the link and exchange between Chinese schools and our partner overseas schools. This has become an effective strategy to recruit Chinese students for short summer camp programme as well as the long term course afterwards.15 Chinese schools in Suzhou already signed up for the event, two of which are also going to host the visits from 6 overseas schools after the forum.

The education fair in the following day is supposed to attract 40-50 families to join, mainly students from K12 private and international schools in Suzhou. The fair is held twice a year by HOPE in Shanghai and nearby cities in East China.
