Lingnan University Cultural Ambassador Programme

LU Cultural Ambassador Programme 2024/25 

 

Introduction:

The LU Cultural Ambassador Programme is an initiative aimed at nurturing a group of students who are passionate about exploring and sharing diverse cultures.  As cultural ambassadors, these students play a crucial role in promoting cross-cultural appreciation and integration on campus and in student hostels.  By engaging with fellow students and the wider community, cultural ambassadors can exchange knowledge and experiences while enriching their own learning and personal growth.  Overall, the programme is designed to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all students and to foster greater understanding and respect for different cultures.

  • Participate in a wide array of cultural events, workshops and experiences;
