Abstract
A significant problem associated with the increasing number of international student is that many Chinese students can’t integrate themselves into the local life because of culture shock. This project makes a point of using the ‘w’ curve of the experience of culture shock in my research, and discusses and analyses different ways of presenting it, inviting people to participate in the project to achieve the empathy and helping them raise awareness. It focuses on Chinese students and other people who are interested in Chinese international students’ culture shock. Another aim is to define what the Chinese students’ culture shock is, and show how they deal with it, and improving their state of living in a foreign country.

Keywords
Culture shock, participatory design, Chinese students, App, ‘W’ curve

Research question:
