The student bodies, local or non-local, grabbed
the opportunity to showcase their home cultures
to the other students. The Taiwanese Student
Association continued the trend of cycling
around the island and made it the theme
of the Taiwan Culture Night. Students and
guest speakers were invited to give talks on
this topic and a drama was staged. The Mainland
Undergraduate Association also promoted Chinese
culture on campus by presenting a culture salon, a photo
gallery and a food carnival in the Chinese
Culture Week. Outside campus, the students
going out for the "Night in Africa" at an
African restaurant organized by the Black
International Community of CUHK had a blast with black people's
authentic cuisine and music. Closer to home, the Provisional Student
Union of C.W. Chu College brought students out on a one day
local tour, of the Diversity on Campus project, which boosted the
participants' sense of belonging to the city.
Promote the home culture
Funded by the Steering Committee on Internationalization of Higher Education and
Engagement of Mainland China, the Internationalization Activity Fund has been set up to
support student associations to organize activities which promote internationalization and
inter-cultural exchange. As of the end of term

projects which

the highlights of six funded projects!
Language is one of the most straightforward and effective ways
for cultural exchange. The Postgraduate Student Association
of CUHK organized talks and discussion groups for the
participants to view the Chinese and English languages in
a more in-depth perspective. The Provisional Student Union
of C.W. Chu College also had a similar initiative with the
Cultural Nights, also of the Diversity on Campus project, where
the participants had a chance to learn different languages and
understand other cultures.
