The Spring Festival 2024 and Launch Ceremony of LingArt Programme on the Promotion and Inheritance of Chinese Culture
Lingnan University hosted Spring Festival 2024 on 31 January, bringing students together to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Accomplished student performances and booths from different countries presented by international students showcased Lingnan’s rich cultural diversity.
Lingnan is honoured and delighted to receive the generous donation of HK$3.88 million from the Lingnan Education Organization (LEO) supporting the first two-year LingArt Programme on the Promotion and Inheritance of Chinese Culture. It will promote Chinese culture and show its grandeur and uniqueness through a series of cultural and artistic activities, so as to stimulate a deeper understanding of the rich and diverse heritage of China in both local and international students, as well as encouraging a sense of national belonging in local students.

"It was really fun to represent our country and our culture at this event. I think everyone wants to explain and show off their own culture. It would be great to have more events like this," observed Zhassulanov Yerbolat (second from the right), a first-year student from the Department of Psychology.
Students from Mexico have prepared a variety of snacks and showed typical Mexican toys.
