Shanghai 123 is a grassroots initiative led by the local international community. Designed for individuals and families during their most critical period – with less than 6 months experience in Shanghai – Shanghai 123 is a free half-day orientation showcasing community volunteer talent who talk about common challenges, answer questions and provide practical resources and tips. A light breakfast, lunch and care for children 2-12 years old is provided free of charge.

Launched in 2008 with the help of Michelle Wright, an expat from the USA, a Shanghai Community International School mother, American Women’s Club member and CCS employee, the idea grew organically as an initiative recognizing the need for a not-for-profit, non-partisan platform for sharing resources and tips. Relying 100% on excellent speakers and clear messages/lessons, the program grew to form what we proudly call Shanghai 123, bringing the international community the basics of what is needed for a soft landing in Shanghai.
