Movie Screening Nights and Cultural Sharing Groups
After the International Week kicked off, it was intertwined with the cultural
diversity events of Movie Screening Nights and Cultural Sharing Groups.
A
Bite of China – The Five Flavours
brought real food to the audience as they
could have a bite of the dishes introduced in the documentary. Some mainland
students also shared the cultural bits behind. And the Taiwanese movie,
Island
Etude
, became closer to life with the complement of a native student’s sharing
on his adventure of cycling around Taiwan this summer.
The Cultural Sharing Groups on black people’s cultures and viewing Hong Kong,
Taiwan and mainland China from a cultural perspective followed. April-Louise
Pennant, a founding member of the CUHK Black International Community (B.I.C)
says, “Myself and the other co-founders of the B.I.C, Rochelle Rodney-Massop
and Djata Sigam, are really pleased with how our presentation went. We are also
very happy at being given the opportunity to contribute to the International Week
and hope to do more activities to share some of the cultures within the Black
Community and celebrate the diversity at CUHK.”

(Ecuador / MA in Sustainable Tourism)
I feel happy that I was involved in the cultural diversity
activities by conducting the cooking class and performing
at the International Concert. It is important that the
University values students from different places.

International Concert
The International Concert, named ‘Music for All Ears’, was
the finale of the International Week and it hit a wonderful
note. At the concert, the student performers from different
origins won rounds of applause from the audience with
their versatility. The variety of performances also showed
diversity – singing in different languages, rock’n’roll music,
K-pop dance, band show and instrumental performance.
The Concert truly offered music for all ears and it was also a
feast for all eyes.
