🌍 Celebrating Africa Day 2026 – Showcasing HKMU LiPACE’s Commitment to Cross-Cultural Learning 🤝🎓
Dr. Benjamin Chan (Dean) and Ms. Helen Pang (Associate Director), were invited to attend the Africa Day event hosted by InvestHK on 26 May 2026. The event brought together global and local leaders to honour Africa’s rich cultural heritage and the growing partnership between Hong Kong and the African continent.
This invitation is a recognition of LiPACE’s longstanding dedication to fostering internationalisation-in-place, intercultural awareness, and inclusion – the three pillars of our “Three-I” initiative. As highlighted in a China Daily feature published on 26 May 2026 (link below), LiPACE was proud to organise Hong Kong’s first series of academic, cultural and art events in support of the “China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges” in April 2026.
With the full support of four Consuls General of South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe in Hong Kong, alongside our MOU partners – The American University in Cairo (Egypt), Bulawayo Polytechnic (Zimbabwe), and the University of Cape Town (South Africa) – students, educators, and diplomats were connected together for different aspects of meaningful dialogues.
Grateful for InvestHK and all our African partners and students for making this cross-cultural journey so rewarding. 🌍✨
