CUHK Host Family Programme
Since its debut in 2013, the CUHK Host Family Programme has helped create a home away from home for
non-local students and accelerated cultural exchange by connecting them with CUHK staff. This year, senior
local students are also invited to be hosts so as to widen the networks of both local and non-local students.
Many hosts and their students met at the opening ceremony in early October and kindled their relationship.
Know more about the programme:

The i-Ambassador Scheme
The i-Ambassador Scheme, in its second year running, has drawn about 350 participants
from 18 regions/ countries around the world. The i-Ambassadors have received a host of
training activities, including culturally-oriented workshops and tours, before organizing their
own cultural projects to facilitate intercultural interaction on campus or even in the local
community from November 2016 to next March.
Keep abreast of what the i-Ambassadors are doing:
CLOVER
CLOVER (Community + Local & Overseas students + Volunteer = Everlasting
Relationships) is a voluntary service programme, in which local, mainland and overseas
students join hands to provide voluntary service to the needy in our society. In its eighth
year of implementation, CLOVER 2016-17 attracts more than 150 members and they
have been receiving a series of training activities on team building, voluntary service and
awareness about environmental conservation. After the training, the participants will
organize their voluntary service projects for the local community in the second term.

The Cultural Fun@i-LOUNGE workshops have been regularly
held at the i-LOUNGE on most Monday and Wednesday

relaxed ambience. The workshops will be run throughout the
academic year, so you will have no reason to miss it!
