EdUHK hosted the Cultural Showcase 2024 on its campus in October, in an initiative to promote internationalisation and enable students to gain a deeper understanding of different cultures.

Students from over a dozen countries and regions, including mainland China, Finland, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and Tajikistan, joined local students to celebrate and share their rich cultural heritage.

EdUHK President, Professor John Lee Chi-Kin, delivered an uplifting opening address, setting the tone for a day filled with cultural exploration. The event featured an impressive array of performances, including an electric guitar solo by a Hong Kong student who grew up in Jamaica, a captivating traditional Dai dance by exchange students from mainland China, and an energetic K-pop dance routine performed by undergraduates.

Throughout the day, international students showcased their cultures through traditional costumes, interactive games, and delicious food. Mainland exchange students presented exhibits highlighting traditional Chinese clothing, Quanzhou flower hairpin art, and the intricate craft of lacquer fan making. Spanish exchange students engaged attendees with a traditional jump rope game, rewarding participants with carnations, Spain's national flower.

EdUHK’s Global Affairs Office also invited skilled artisans to demonstrate traditional local crafts to students from around the world, including flour doll making and sugar painting, enabling students to experience these unique art forms firsthand.

The Cultural Showcase 2024 was a highly enjoyable event, as part of EdUHK's commitment to nurturing a vibrant, multicultural campus community where students can learn from one another and celebrate their diverse backgrounds.
