Cultural Exchanges
The world is getting more inter-connected with the advance of air travel and digital communication. It is one thing that we can instantly text, talk or meet up on the screen of our digital gadgets; but to be actually being and travelling in another part of the world is wholly a different matter. For this we believe that true cultural exchange can only be made possible through personal interactions between people from different cultural backgrounds. Walking the acts is always louder than talking the acts!
Tea with students in London during a university tour trip
2018 - Hong Kong - 2 Weeks
Hong Kong is a city where a host of cultures being converged and therefore it would be the ideal location for students to experience the "cultural crossovers" . Our students were flabbergasted by the cultural shock (and the time difference) in the first few days of their trip. However, they soon got busily involved in the volunteering tasks with an international charity organization, sweating all over in the scorching summer and transitioning from aloofness to mingling with young men from different countries and background. At the end of the trip, they were left with an experience which would last with them for a lifetime.
2014 - Vancouver - 2 Weeks
The philosophy of learning between the East and the West can be quite profoundly opposite. It has always been polarized between didactic instructions and self-directed learning. These summer exchange programs provided a unique experience for students from Asia to position their learning in an entirely western context. Not only did they take initiation in their learning, they also drew a host of life experiences through the afternoon activities where they were able to travel around the city or to work out in sports. Besides, they got the chance to live with a local family as the host for their "homestay" throughout their visit, learning and savoring the taste - literally and metaphorically speaking - of what locals eat and how they live. This is certainly something for them to remember and cherish, if not even triggering their wish to study abroad.

Charity & Donation
Over the years, we have found that one of the most effective means of getting exposure and public attention on the subject is through doing charity and donation that aptly fits with our identity of being a non-profit organization. We have consistently been looking for partners, individuals, and organizations that aspired or shared our rationales.
Art Exhibitions
Showcasing the talents of young artists is a direct way to reach out to the public and allow the gifted artists the maximum exposure of his or her works. We do not set any limitation as to the genre of the artworks as long as they are authentically created and accomplished through the creativity and originality of the art worker.
