The second “Tsinghua University, the University of Macau and PolyU tripartite exchange programme” was successfully held at Tsinghua University from July 8 to 12, 2024. The five-day and four-night programme provided a cultural exchange platform for students to enhance their understanding and perception of the Chinese traditional culture and improve their cultural accomplishment through academic discussions and cultural visits.
This year’s exchange programme was organised by Tsinghua University and co-organised by PolyU and UM. About 50 students from different departments of the three universities participated. This year, PolyU is led by Dr Lam Tai-fai, Chairman of the PolyU's Council and Chairman of the Advisory Committee of The Research Centre for Chinese History and Culture, and Prof. HAN Qi, Dr ZHAO Yi and Dr LAU Kai Yiu from the Department of Chinese History and Culture. Apart from attending keynote speeches, students from the three Universities were asked to conduct academic exchange, jointly guided by teachers from the three Universities. During the exchange, students were required to present their papers (3000-5000 words) by giving a 15-minute individual presentation. Other participating students were free to give comments and discuss together. Despite broadening their academic horizons, teachers and students also conducted several field trips, such as visiting the Badaling Ancient Great Wall, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan and Tiananmen Square, etc. Not only promoting Chinese culture, we hope the on-site visits could strengthen national education and enhance students’ pride and sense of belonging to the Nation.
Dr Lam Tai-fai mentioned at the opening ceremony of the exchange programme: “We will continue establishing close partnerships with Tsinghua University and the University of Macau. In addition to the academic exchange camp, we hope to develop cooperation in education, research and innovation. This includes co-hosing high-level academic symposia, compiling Chinese history reference textbooks and providing teacher training, etc., all with the aim of promoting Chinese culture together.”
