Global Exposure
Global Exposure Committee
The Global Exposure Team is dedicated to expanding students’ global perspective through a range of cultural exchange activities. With generous support from the Li Ka Shing Foundation, the Mrs Li Chong Yuet Ming Student Development Fund (LCYMSDF) allocates resources to both local and overseas programmes, facilitating enriching experiences for students.
One of the team’s key initiatives is Global Week, organised in collaboration with Inter Cultural Education (ICE). During this event, speakers from diverse nationalities engage junior classes in discussions on topics such as food culture, modern rites of passage, environmental and cultural preservation. In addition to the classroom sessions, cultural exposure workshops and interactive lunch activities provide students with an opportunity to connect with guests from various countries who share their customs and traditions in engaging ways.
As an extension of Global Week, the Mini Global Week is specifically designed for S3 students. This event encourages students to conduct research projects on a country of their choice, exploring its culture, history, and lifestyle. Students also create and manage their own country stalls, showcasing their findings to teachers and peers.
The team also collaborates with the Citizenship and Social Development Department to promote cultural education by organising talks featuring alumnae from diverse cultural backgrounds. These sessions allow alumnae to share their unique experiences growing up, with topics such as mixed-race identities and upbringing in mainland China.
Through these various activities, the Global Exposure Team not only encourages students to embrace cultural diversity, but also fosters essential values such as respect, unity, and appreciation for one’s own heritage.
