The University of Macau (UM) Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong’s School of Professional and Continuing Education (HKU SPACE), organized a Designated Training Programme for Cross-cultural Communication from Aug 2 to 5 for students of Hunan Normal University.

The 4-day training program consisted of a series of special lectures, with a rich curriculum taught entirely in English. Participants first attended lectures in HK delivered by experts. Then they came to UM to attend two more lectures given by instructors of Faculty of Social Science (FSS). The students also visited different units of UM, including the UM Wu Yee Sun Library, UM Gallery, and Cheng Yu Tung College. The student expressed that the training was highly beneficial. The program enriched their personal experiences and broadened their perspectives, and they hoped to have the opportunity to return to the University of Macau for future studies.

Hunan Normal University is located in Changsha, Hunan Province. It has been selected into the first batch of national “211 Project” key construction universities and national “Double First-Class” construction universities. It is a key ministry-provincial jointly built by the Ministry of Education and Hunan Province. It is one of the universities to build “double first-class” construction.

To strengthen cooperation between mainland key national universities and UM, CCE is continuing to provide high quality training programmes in the future.
