The goal of the exchange is to discover the values, way of life and ambitions of young Chinese (or Canadian) students.

An exchange of drawings created with LopArt will occur between the two ‘twinned' classes and will revolve around four themes.

In the first phase, the LopArt Museum will act as a shared space for the presentation of works by the students participating in the exchange; four collective and theme-based galleries will be set up to present their art. In the second phase, a private section will be opened on the LopArt Museum site, allowing for the exchange of ideas and comments between participating students and teachers.

Illustrations providing messages of courage, love and health to send to the Tao Yuan School students, giving them hope to win over SARS.

"We've been working on LopArt for an hour now. Our students are very motivated,
in spite of the little difficulties we encounter. The theme interests them a
lot, and we can see their talent. It is hard to stop once we've begun. We have
to leave the lab, another class is arriving... I'll write you back later."
