農曆新年剛過,長洲「搶包山」便提早上演?香港科技大學(科大)本周舉辦了一連兩日的「理學院環球文化交流祭」,讓本地和非本地生聚首一堂,出盡自家法寶展現家鄉的獨特傳統、藝術、音樂和美食。其中,科大更設計了一座兩米高的小型「包山」,介紹太平清醮這項獨特的香港傳統文化和習俗,更免費派發由科大校友在長洲製作、印有「理」字的特製平安包,寓意「包理平安」,為同學送上祝福。
今年的文化交流祭設有36個各具特色的攤位,匯聚南韓、馬來西亞、土耳其、德國、奧地利、荷蘭、瑞典等13個國家及地區的同學,冀讓學生於期中考試前稍作放鬆之餘,亦可擴闊國際視野,感受科大校園的多元文化氛圍。活動吸引逾千名來自本地以及世界各地的同學和教職員踴躍參與,其他精彩的特色活動包括品嘗土耳其傳統咖啡及瑞典家鄉甜點、試穿韓國傳統服飾及學習奧地利舞蹈等。
科大國際本科生比例一直名列本港大學之冠。過去數年,科大學士課程每年所錄取的非本地生中,超過一半來自中國內地以外,包括美洲、東西歐、澳洲,非洲及亞洲等地區。校園不時舉辦活動,讓來自全球超過40個國家及地區的教員和超過70個國家及地區的學生互相交流,體驗多元文化的魅力。
