City News Service's first offline service center in Huacao International Community Center on 550 Jizhai Rd.
City News Service hosted a specialized research event titled "CNS Loyalty Program: Your Voice Matters" at it's first offline service station in Huacao International Community Center last week.
During the event, expatriates residing in the Huacao area were invited to share their perspectives, insights, and recommendations on life in Shanghai. The initiative aims to further promote the engagement and participation of expatriates in community development and governance efforts.
Foreign participants take part in a research activity held by CNS Coffee Talk and Huacao Expats' Conference.
The activity includes a brief introduction to the CNS platform.
Expatriates at the event expressed keen interest in the specialized research activity, sharing their thoughts and offering feedback on the services provided by the CNS platform.
Intrigued by the conversation, Tsc Tempest from Australia expressed an appreciation for the feedback and the exploration of activities to enhance the quality of life in the region.

"I find the CNS platform to be incredibly useful as it provides a localized space for accessing various pieces of information," said Chris Pratt from Britain in the interview. "Gathering feedback is crucial for its improvement, and I'm particularly excited about the upcoming baseball tournament in October. Improved integration would greatly facilitate organizing sports tournaments more efficiently. I believe more activities like this would benefit everyone in the community.
"As for the type of community I aim to achieve, I prioritize fostering a strong sports-oriented community, especially given my professional background in sports," he added.
Ketaki Charekar from Germany, who has been in Shanghai for a year, expressed appreciation for the event, emphasizing its role in facilitating open expression and inquiry.
She said she believed CNS was valuable for staying informed about community activities, particularly in relation to sports and children's activities. When asked about her expectations for similar events in the future, Ketaki expressed enthusiasm for gathering more information and generating further suggestions.

"I feel really positive about today's activity," said Diana Moya from Mexico.
"It's wonderful to witness people considering expats like myself. I find it truly enjoyable to engage with Chinese individuals and learn more about their culture – it's a valuable experience for me. Regarding the CNS platform, this is actually my first encounter with it. When informed about the abundance of information it offers, I expressed interest in trying it out later."

“我发现CNS（City News Service）平台非常有用，因为它能提供本土化的信息，收集反馈并推进改进，这对使用者来说至关重要，我也十分期待能在平台上看到社区十月份将举办的棒球比赛，这个平台让社区中的每个人都能受益。”近日，在华漕国际社区中心举办的“CNS Loyalty Program: Your Voice Matters”主题活动上，来自英国的Chris Pratt表示。
作为富有特色的国际社区，华漕镇汇集了来自近80个国家、9600余名外籍人士。华漕国际社区中心是CNS在全市设立的第一个线下对外信息服务站点，此次首场专题活动邀请12位在华漕居住、生活的外籍人士参加，从“社区生活、上学、医疗”等方面了解服务对象需求，同时推介平台。
会上，相关负责人对CNS一站式对外信息服务站提供的便利功能以及“MLB棒球社区项目”进行介绍，外籍人士对在上海生活的看法、见解和建议进行发声、交流，并畅谈CNS平台的使用感受。
来自德国的Ketaki Charekar已经在上海生活了一年，对活动的举办大加赞赏，她认为这样的开放活动，听取他们的意见，对他们能更好地生活在上海非常有帮助。
“有这样一个平台为我们了解社区活动尤其是体育和儿童活动方面，提供了有价值的信息，希望未来能多参加这样的活动，发表我们的看法。” Ketaki Charekar表示。
澳大利亚的Tsc Tempest对这场广泛听取他们意见的活动表示喜欢，他认为这将有助于提升在该地区生活的质量。
来自墨西哥的Diana Moya表示，与中国人的交流也让她对中国文化有了更深的了解，初次体验CNS平台的她，对这个平台充满了兴趣：“今天的活动我觉得很棒，能够从我们外籍人士的视角来考虑问题。这也是我第一次接触CNS平台，看到它能提供那么多信息，之后我会尝试使用。”
