WEDO GLOBAL recently organized a Tsim Sha Tsui Community Tour for a group of enthusiastic Form 5 students from The Chinese Foundation Secondary School, where they had the chance to step out of the classroom to explore the daily life and cultural experiences of ethnic minorities in Hong Kong.
Guided by WEDO GLOBAL’s Cultural Ambassadors, the students visited Chungking Mansions, where they explored cultural shops, tasted South Asian snacks and drinks, and listened to the stories of local shop owners. Before the visit, many students reflected that they were afraid of entering Chungking Mansions as they had negative impressions, but the experience helped them break stereotypes and discover the friendliness and warmth of the people they met, encouraging them to approach new communities with curiosity, respect, and openness.
“The tour was rich and informative, allowing students to learn many interesting facts about religious and cultural practices.” Teacher
“There were many hands-on experiences in Chungking Mansions, which helped students to break through many of their stereotypes.” Teacher
They also learned simple greetings in several languages, using them to interact with community members during interviews and conversations. The tour gave students a fresh perspective on the daily life of ethnically diverse communities in Hong Kong, deepening their understanding of respect, empathy.
Students also had the chance to interview our Cultural Ambassador and reflect on their learning. A big thank you to all the students and teachers for their curiosity and participation. Together, we continue to build bridges across communities through meaningful cultural experiences.
