CULTURAL MEDIATORS
Buddy Scheme was established in 2016. At the beginning, the scheme aimed at targeting non-local students in order to help them get acquainted with life in Hong Kong. It was then extended to local students. The number of participants progressively increases throughout these years.
The Alumni Association has been playing a supportive and active role in this scheme, assisting the Department in organising events of this scheme. AACM has strived to encourage more alumni to participate in the scheme, providing their courtesy support to students on studies and career.
Every year, the Department and AACM pair up and divide buddies and students into groups according to the number of participants.
