Abstract
With the acceleration of globalization, the acculturation issue of design is becoming an emerging challenge. At the same time, as one of the several design patterns in service design, which is becoming a mainstream in design society, has been adopted by more and more designers in design practice. Based on the output of a design workshop on acculturation issue of design, we presented the process of and learnings from participatory design aiming at helping foreigners living in China to use WeChat. To that end, we described the practice, problems and achievements, lessons learned, and outlook into the future for design practice using participatory design to address the acculturation issue.

Acknowledgement
The practice of this design workshop is a very rare experience and learning opportunity. Participatory design is not a rare design pattern, but cross-cultural participatory design practice is a rare and precious topic. Thanks to Professor Torkil Clemmensen, Qin Xiangang and Hou Wenjun for their guidance and support. Thanks to the group members for their expertise, the team’s design practice has been successful and the corresponding design results have been achieved. Thanks to the sharing and communication of other design teams, let us Think about and contrast the differences and characteristics between cross-cultural Participatory design and cross-cultural UCD design.
