The I·CARE Hong Kong Cultural Tours Project, which has been conducted for years, aims to facilitate CUHK students’ discovery of Hong Kong stories and to offer free cultural tours to serve the needy. Both groups are expected to develop an enhanced sense of identification to this city.
The project of this academic year has already provided 28 CUHK students with professional training that covers introduction of designated districts, itinerary design, planning of tour routes and presentation skills, etc. They started earlier on offering theme-based cultural tours to secondary school students in groups to deepen their understanding of local history and culture.
