The programme aims to cultivate students a global mindset through a series of thematic eye-opening activities across different global issues to help students have a deep understanding of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified by the United Nations (UN), and have a chance to join a cross-cultural student enrichment tour to Sri Lanka. During the tour, students not only interact with local families and visit community infrastructure, but also need to design funny games for the local youth to advocate the concepts of cultural exchange, nurture their positive personality traits and bring positive impact to the community through services. The tour was successfully completed in Jul 2024. The student team served more than 120 local youths from kindergarten, primary & village schools, and positive student feedback was received from the programme evaluation. All participants agree that the tour can help increase their awareness of related social issues, strengthen their passion and knowledge about different cultures across the world, and increase their sense of identity of a global citizen.

這一次跨國的義工服務令我大開眼界,出發之前,我感到十分擔憂,例如當地的環境氣溫,很擔心治安問題。但是當我到達斯里蘭卡後,便發現這裏的人很友善,經過也會與你打個招呼。整個義工體驗最令我印象深刻的是到鄉村學校與小朋友玩遊戲,他們的熱情實在令人感到鼓舞。

短短七日行程,可能只佔人生億分之一時間,但旅途上的種種經歷已經刻骨銘心,一生難忘。例如夜空中的繁星、因螢火蟲聚集而閃閃發光的大樹、蟋蟀與樹蛙的交響曲;亦遇到友善親切的當地人,交流彼此之間的文化,談及天文地理政治人和,如此深刻、滿足。我好感恩今次旅途上遇到的人,教了我很多知識及道理。而到訪地方如Village School/ Primary school/ Local family 等亦是自己旅行難以去到的地方,是次旅程絕對是深度遊,我很喜歡,亦獲益良多。

這次非常榮幸能夠參與斯里蘭卡義工體驗營,很有教育意義,亦令我反思自己對快樂的定義。在旅途當中我們有機會接觸當地青年和他們交流,包括探訪公立中學,當地家庭以及幼稚園,透過聆聽他們的故事可以更深入了解斯里蘭卡的生活。

在這次的義工體驗中,我見識到不同關於斯里蘭卡的人和事物,是一場真.深度遊。看到當地村民與村民之間的關係,互相幫助。也看到人們善良和純真,以及不計較,這些東西很難在香港人身上尋找,但對當地人而言這些東西卻很平常。
