Cross Cultural Summer Enrichment Programme is a programme combined with language, exchange, and mentoring aimed at fostering knowledge sharing, expanding participants' networks, and creating a supportive environment for growth and connection.
During the upcoming summer holiday in 2025, fellows from overseas and HKU will collaborate to co-design classes for the participants at HKU. HKU lecturers will provide professional coaching to the fellows before they deliver their self-designed lessons. The programme will cover a diverse range of cross-cultural subjects, including humanities, social sciences, and more, with English serving as the medium of communication. Through active participation in this programme, students will have the opportunity to develop a global identity, embrace new values, and broaden their worldviews.

It explores a wide range of contemporary issues through the lens of gender, including body positivity movements, ‘leftover women’, Black Lives Matter, and gender inclusion in the workplace. Students will examine how gender operates differently in individuals, communities, and institutions.
