Hong Kong Cultural Tours Project: Members Recruitment 2024 – 25
Hong Kong not only has a prominent international status, but also possesses unique historical and cultural heritage that is worth exploring in depth. Although this “Pearl of the East” is constantly evolving, if we observe carefully, we will still find numerous historical traces that silently tell the stories of our city. How much of these stories do you understand?This academic year's “Hong Kong Cultural Tours Project” is now recruiting members. Selected students will receive professional training, including data collection, itinerary planning and construction, narrative techniques, and guiding skills. They will then plan routes based on specific themes, conduct on-site investigations, write scripts, participate in demonstration tours, and lead simulated guided tours. Finally, members will lead secondary school students and CUHK members outside the campus to trace the local history and cultural footsteps. Details are as follows:
