Whether it's business, education, healthcare or conservation, our partnerships with China are changing, shaping and improving the world we share. The more you learn about Minnesota's links with China, the more you'll see ways you can get involved to make a real difference along the way. For starters see:

Art speaks all languages. Help send a message of goodwill to China.

We're partnering with Children's HeartLink to send your artwork to be displayed at the Children's Palace in Lanzhou, China. The Children's Palace is an extra-curricular school that teaches English, computer science and the performing arts. After a recent medical mission to China, Children's HeartLink received a gift of artwork from kids at the Children's Palace. Now, Children's HeartLink wants to reciprocate by having Minnesota schoolchildren create art for the Children's Palace. For details on how you can be part of this special project, check out Children's HeartLink.
