Intercultural learning most importantly, give you the courage to take challenges. Language barrier and lacking of global visions often become a major reason Hong Kong students avoid communicating with people they are not familiar with. Intercultural learning is how we can deal this thing issue. By activities such as language exchange, nights and other related activities, I found that approaching people is not as difficult as some people think. It is always very easy to find good things from others, food, places, celebrities, movies etc. That means you can embrace others good thing, and in respect, others also embrace your culture. I think if students can keep embracing, the momentum they have will induce positive attitudes that eventually can being a lot of happiness.

HILL programme enables me to learn things that I wouldn’t be learning during class. Attending the weekly meeting wasn’t exhausting , in fact , it provided a platform for me to reflect myself every week so that I could improve myself better. The weekly meeting was fun and interesting where you got the chance to express yourself or to listen to others!

I joined HILL from September 2018 to May 2019. So far I gave some free lemonades to the students in both Homantin and Hung Hom halls; taught some Korean words and how to make dumplings; helped in free yoga lesson; and found a way to appreciate the frontline staffs in my own way. The most important lessons I learned from organizing my own projects is that, I have to think about who. What will they want? How, when, and where am I going to do this? Why do I want to do this? Although these experiences may not directly related to “my” questions, but it trains me to answer those by myself and further prepare autonomy in my life.
