Eat To-Gather Programme for Locals and Non-locals: Cultural Exchange Beyond a Dining Table (Deadline: 20 January 2019)

Eat To-Gather Programme for Locals and Non-locals: Cultural Exchange Beyond a Dining Table (Deadline: 20 January 2019)

Student Development Team
17 December, 2018 to 20 January, 2019
00:00 - 00:00

Eating together as a family is highly valued in the Chinese culture. By connecting non-local students, local students and local host families (non-residential), the Eat To-Gather Programme aims to facilitate non-local students’ adaptation to life in Hong Kong and promote cultural exchange and integration. In the Programme, participants will:

· Enjoy at least one homey meal in the host family to have an authentic taste of family life in Hong Kong;

· Take part in family gatherings/ activities arranged by the host families or CEDARS; and

· Have loads of fun!

Local students can apply to be either “Foodmates” or “Hosts”, while non-local students are invited to join as “Non-local Pals”. Each local foodmate will be paired up with 1 to 2 non-local pal(s) and 1 host family.


Apply NOW to enjoy the cultural exchange beyond a dining table!


Programme Duration: February – April 2019
