Event Detail
Eat To-Gather Programme for Locals and Non-locals: Cultural Exchange Beyond a Dining Table (Deadline: 24 January 2020)
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 among participants.
Through the Programme, you will:
- Share your cultures, extend your cultural experience and intercultural competency;
- Enjoy
at least one homey meal in a host’s homey and take part in family
gatherings/ activities arranged by the host family or CEDARS;
- Make
new friends and build up supportive friendships that last beyond the
programme; and
- Have
loads of fun!
Local students can apply to be either “Foodmates” or
“Hosts”, while non-local students are invited to join as “Nonlocal Pals”. Each
local foodmate will be paired up with 2 non-local pals and 1 host family.
Apply NOW to enjoy the cultural exchange beyond a dining
table!
