St. Joseph's College Liberal Studies and Integrated Humanities Society

[1] Green and White Day stall

Culture has always been omnipresent in Hong Kong. Whether it is food and drinks or traditional toys and arts and crafts, there is definitely a part of culture that resonates with you. To get a perspective of traditional culture in Green and White flair, hesitate no more and visit us at Classroom 3B Sunday, 28 January 2018 at the annual Green and White Day for a wide range of interactive games, intriguing exhibitions and unique souvenirs. See you there!

Liberal Studies and Integrated Humanities are like double-edged swords---they give us a broader perspective of the world around us, yet may pose to us different challenges during our academic journey. Want to overcome those hurdles and enrich yourself in these two crucial academic subjects? Then come and join us during the Recruitment Week from 3-6 October! Through workshops, activities and games, you'll find yourself enlightened considerably in LS and IH while having loads of fun! See all of you in the New Hall!

It has come to the end of the school year 2016-17. Time to look back at the highlights of the year. Other than reviewing the photos on our page, you can always check the full-resolution photos and the latest information on our website: www.sjc.edu.hk/~lsandih/

Thank you for supporting the LSIH Society throughout the year and hope you have enjoyed our events. There will be new activities and new committees next year. Enjoy your summer holiday and see you soon. Stay tuned...

[All about the Basic Law]

What does the Basic Law include? Is it the same as the Common Law? The Basic Law details the fundamental rights, freedoms and duties of the residents of Hong Kong.

[Opportunities and Challenges - Globalisation]

When the world is becoming increasingly interconnected due to massively increased trade and cultural exchange, globalisation occurs.

Many opportunities can be brought by globalisation. Cross-border activities such as cross-border investment and population flow, have fostered cultural exchange and integration. Opportunities have been created for the promotion of the traditional customs. For example, more and more Chinese people will celebrate Christmas even though it is yet to be a public holiday in the Mainland China. Moreover, the Chinese New Year has received increasing attention from the globe. In fact, the Chinese New Year has been a statutory holiday in the New York City since 2003.

Yet, challenges have also been created. Since Western culture has been globally accepted, some Chinese traditional customs are being challenged by Western culture as China's economy and cultural activities are increasingly connected to the world. Western festivals like Christmas and Halloween are getting popular among young people in China, while traditional Chinese festivals like the Chung Yeung Festival and the Spirit Festival have become less important.

Whether globalisation unites different people on Earth or destroys traditional cultures is still an unknown. However, it would be good for us to seize the opportunities created, whereas protecting traditional and local customs.

[Upcoming Activity - Presentation Workshop]

Presenting ideas effectively and clearly is a crucial skill to get your message or opinion across the world. As a Josephian, you have to present your projects in front of the class. In the future, no matter where you are working in, presentation skills are required in almost every field.

Given the importance of presentation skills, the LSIH Society proudly presents to you a Presentation Workshop. It is our greatest honour to be able to invite Mr. Arthur Wong as our guest tutor. In the Workshop, Mr Wong will share his experiences in doing presentation and give some tips on how a presentation can be done better. Josephians can undoubtedly benefit from this workshop.
