SPOTLIGHT
JAN 2016
UMP
大學廣場
Cassandra Lee (Mathematics/ Year 5) “I expected to be lectured
to, but the ensuing programme turned out to be a very new
experience to me. Putting design in exercises to solve a problem
turned out harder than expected, and the games also stretched
us to our limits. I hope similar activities can be held again!”
Experiencing team dynamics
The CUHK students and the Singaporean delegation
Spotlight Asia Youth Leaders' Experience & Action Programme 2015
50 CUHK students, including about 20 i-Ambassadors, joined the
whole-day programme with the Singaporean delegation at CUHK
in November. The programme, consisting of interactive exercises
related to “design thinking” and “team dynamics”, provided a platform
for the CUHK students and the Singaporean peers to meet, to bond
cross cultural friendships and to develop their cultural leadership. Our
students also acted as good hosts and showed the Singaporean friends
around the campus to give them a clearer picture of the University.

CUHK Host Family Programme
After the Meet-and-Greet Gathering in early October of 2015, our
non-local students and their host families had started to plan for
coming activities such as museum visit, family dinner gathering and
occasion celebration. Some mainland students visited their host,
Prof. Sidney Yu who is a faculty member of the School of Biomedical
Sciences, and enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by Prof. Yu’s wife,
and the night was full of happiness.
Li Xuebo (IBBA/ Year 2) “The dinner was great and we even
listened to a lovely song sung by Prof. Yu’s son. I love this
programme as it enables me to meet such a warm family as well as
three new good friends.”
Cultural Fun @ i-LOUNGE
The i-LOUNGE, located at the 3/F of Yasumoto International
Academic Park, provides an ideal place for cultural exchange,
exposure and integration. Since late October, a series of cultural
activities was organized which covered four international topics
namely World Travel Forum, Cultural Experience, Global Issues
and Language Immersion, at i-LOUNGE for the CUHK community.
Karen Lee (Global Business Studies/ Year 1) “I met different people
around the world sharing their own backpacking experiences, unique
cultures like the Brazilian martial arts called Capoeira, some exotic
Latin American music or even their music jamming with a traditional
Jazz standard. It is an incredible event for making new friends while
discovering the beauty of cultural diversity.”
