Korean Exchange Programme 2017

This year, the Global Exposure Committee and the Civic Education Committee joined hands together to host Korean students at Ying Wa Girls' School (YWGS).  The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG), a partner of YWGS for years, placed 20 Koreans in our hospitality programme.  Our brother school, Ying Wa College (YWC), also came onboard.

On 23 January, selected students of both schools underwent an ice-breaking session and some training to better understand the Sham Shui Po district.  One month after (i.e. 23 February), both schools welcomed the Korean visitors with a tea party before our guided tour of the neighbourhood. 

The Korean youths performed K-pop and traditional dances which attracted more than 200 students to stay after school to enjoy the cultural display at the open playground.  6 YWGS and 2 YWC students participated in the home stay programme, introducing local cuisine to their guests and showing them different tourist spots.  The exchange programme was fruitful and memorable.
