Experiential Learning at Inter Cultural Education “ICE”

Background of Co-organiser

Inter Cultural Education “ICE” is a Hong Kong social enterprise aiming to promote global awareness and mutual understanding of people from different cultural background through face-to-face interaction.

Even as the world becomes closer through international trade and cheaper flights, we are seeing a huge spike in xenophobic behaviour, racism and discrimination against the minorities. The economy may have benefitted immensely from globalisation but many people are not equipped with the skills and knowledge to live in this new era. We believe that by connecting people across different cultures and backgrounds, we can foster a deeper understanding through intercultural interaction and make the world a better and more peaceful place for our future generations. ICE has worked with more than +100 institutions and impacted more than +40,000 students. ICE has also worked with Ocean Park and Cathay Pacific on a Sustainable Development Programme.
