为打破“汉字难”的刻板印象，激发国际青少年了解汉字文化、学习中文、了解中国的兴趣；探索与实践全球化语境下汉字的创新性传播途径，世界汉语教学学会与北京国际汉语研修学院推出“‘字在我心’汉字创意设计作品展”。2022年作品展主题为“字说家乡”，邀请全球国际青少年通过对汉字的文化赋能和创意性设计，来讲述、传播自己的家乡。

In order to change the impression that Chinese characters are difficult to learn and arouse the interest of global youth to learn about China and its culture, the International Society for Chinese Language Teaching and Beijing International Chinese College jointly launched the “Chinese Character in My Heart” Creative Design Works Exhibition, aiming to explore and practice innovative ways of spreading the culture of Chinese characters in the context of globalization. The theme of the 2022 works exhibition is "Character of My Hometown". Young people around the world are invited to tell stories about their hometown using Chinese characters or the innovative design of Chinese characters.
