Lingnan is honoured and delighted to receive the generous donation of HK$3.88 million from the Lingnan Education Organization (LEO) supporting the first two-year LingArt Programme on the Promotion and Inheritance of Chinese Culture. It will promote Chinese culture and show its grandeur and uniqueness through a series of cultural and artistic activities, so as to stimulate a deeper understanding of the rich and diverse heritage of China in both local and international students, as well as encouraging a sense of national belonging in local students.

"It was really fun to represent our country and our culture at this event. I think everyone wants to explain and show off their own culture. It would be great to have more events like this," observed Zhassulanov Yerbolat (second from the right), a first-year student from the Department of Psychology.
