Experiential Learning at ICE

 

Background of Co-organiser

 

Inter Cultural Education (ICE) is a social enterprise founded in 2009 shortly after winning the Hong Kong Social Enterprise Challenge; in 2013, ICE was awarded The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Micro Fund Award for Entrepreneurship.

 

Proud of our mission to develop globally-minded students and bring the world to them, we have worked with people of over 83 nationalities and more than 150 schools, institutions and universities.

 

We are looking for globally-minded young university students with the passion to transform youth into global citizens. They must share our enthusiasm and vision to “connect people to understand the world” through exposing youth to global diversity. We would like to work with people who love education as well as the idea of generating social impact through service, understanding, respect and international friendship.

 

Over the past years, we have worked with over 150 local schools, universities and institutions such as:

 

  • Ying Wa Girls’ School
  • King’s College
  • CCC Kei Yuen College
  • Christian Alliance SW Chan Memorial College
  • AIESEC Hong Kong
  • Cathay Pacific
  • PolyU Student Affairs Office
  • CUHK Office of Students Affairs

 

Join our dynamic and diverse team, and explore interactive, non-teaching styles.
