This document summarizes a project called "My City and Me" created by the Hakka Community group Shakka Girls. The project's goals were to learn and share Hakka culture with others through video conferences with friends in Russia and Pakistan. It describes some key aspects of Hakka culture like traditional Hakka architecture called Tulou that could house many families, Hakka fabrics, foods like intestines with ginger, and tea. The document also outlines difficulties the group faced like language barriers and scheduling challenges, and provides recommendations for improving similar projects going forward.
