DTUP｜Discovering Hong Kong’s Ethnic Diversity: A Temple Street Cultural Treasure Hunt

6 Feb 2026

On February 6, students from ITS2029 Global Challenges II explored Hong Kong’s ethnic minority cultures and joined a cultural treasure hunt in Temple Street, led by Dr. Yan Kwan, discovering the unique charm of these communities.🤩 They first took part in a cultural sharing session, where guest speakers introduced their customs, languages and daily life. Students also tasted Indian and Nepalese cuisines and tried on traditional costumes for a hands-on cultural experience.

The class then headed to Temple Street for a group-based “Cultural Treasure Hunt”. 🔍 Cultural ambassadors hosted different checkpoints and guided students through activities such as the Nepalese Tika ceremony—rice paste applied on the forehead as a symbol of blessings and good fortune. Students also visited minority-run shops to learn more about the cultural meanings behind their products.

This experience enriched students’ understanding of Hong Kong’s cultural diversity and reinforced the importance of respect, inclusion and cultural harmony. 🤝✨🌏

DTUP｜Field Visit to Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) Headquarters

5 Feb 2026

On 5 February, ITS2029 Global Challenges II students visited the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) Headquarters at Kowloon Bay arranged by Prof. Kevin Lo, Department Chair and Associate Professor of Geography. They experienced how engineering and smart technologies support the city’s day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability goals. 😆

During the visit, students used an AR system to enhance their learning, then toured EMSD facilities to explore sustainable energy development🔋—including solar power applications—and discussed how buildings can more effectively utilise wind energy concepts, as well as optimise air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for energy efficiency and carbon reduction. The group also learned more about EMSD’s role in Hong Kong’s infrastructure, including how power and energy systems are deployed and managed across different districts, strengthening resilience and supporting sustainable urban development. 🌿⚡️🏙️

DTUP｜Field Visit to NK Future

3 Feb 2026

On 3 February, students from ITS2029 Global Challenge II visited “NK Future”, the revitalisation project of the Former North Kowloon Magistracy led by Mr Ryan Man, Senior Lecturer from the School of Business and SideBySide. Through a guided tour, they learnt how cross-sector collaboration— including partners from the legal and tourism sectors, guided tour teams, social enterprises and community organisations—can transform a historic courthouse into a sustainable cultural and community hub.

During the in‑depth exploration of the Grade 2 historic building, students discovered architectural features and historical traces that revealed the site is more than just a courthouse—it is a significant witness to Hong Kong’s social changes. They also discussed how models that balance commercial viability and social value—such as cultural exploration tours and filming projects —can help transform the site into a cultural hub that connects history, law and public engagement. 🏛️✨🤝
