Two colleges from Beijing and Macau reunite in Macau for Research and Study Camp, Exploring Sustainable Development Strategies

Members from the Tsinghua University Xiuzhong College visited Henry Fok Pearl Jubilee College (HFPJC) during 14^th to 19^th January. The delegation, led by Prof. Yue Dongbei, the Associate Master of the Xiuzhong College, participated in the “Harmonious Development of Urban and Historical Nature – Study Camp on Sustainable Development of Tourist Cities” organized by HFPJC. During the Study Camp, members from both colleges jointly explored the sustainable development strategies for Macau. HFPJC and Xiuzhong College signed a MOU last year and HFPJC was invited to visit the Xiuzhong College in December 2023. In return, Xiuzhong College participated in the Study Camp as an exchange activity with HFPJC.

At the Opening Ceremony, Prof. Mok Kai Meng, the Vice Rector of Student Affairs of UM and the Interim College Master of HFPJC, expressed gratitude for the warm reception by Xiuzhong College during our visit in December. He looked forward to more in-depth communication and collaboration between the two colleges in the future. HFPJC invited Prof. Jiang Chaoyang, the Director of Centre for Constitutional Law and Basic Law Studies, and Prof. Shao Chaoyang from Chinese Department of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities to deliver lectures on the “One Country, Two Systems in Macau” and “Macao Is Not Just a City” respectively. After the lectures, participants gained a profound knowledge on how the One Country, Two Systems principle has been successfully implemented since the Handover of Macau, and explored Macau’s unique role from a historical and cultural perspective. During the student leaders’ symposium, participants shared their experiences on the RC systems and the important role of student organizations in inspiring creative thinking and leadership experiences in RC community.

In addition, participants of the Study Camp visited Macau’s World Heritage sites for learning its historical background and culture, and participated in activities related to intangible cultural heritage, such as creating Portuguese tile paintings and dragon and lion dances. These experiences inspired members to reflect on the conservation measures and promotional strategies for the World Heritage urban area. Furthermore, they visited resort hotels to observe environmental initiatives and learn about the green energy and sustainable development projects. The group also visited Taipa and Coloane for more understanding on the ecological observations, revitalizing of old districts and how the city maintained its natural ecology and urban development. The participants gained more knowledge on the importance of balancing development between urban, historical, and natural elements through the field trips. They also explored ways to protect the ecological environment and preserve the historical and cultural heritage while promoting tourism development.

During the Closing Ceremony of the Study Camp, members from Xiuzhong College presented their research and ideas on various topics, including the conservation and promotion of Macau’s World Heritage historic district, sustainable development of resorts, revitalization projects for old districts, and nature conservation. This Study Camp not only deepened the participants’ understanding of Macau, it also enhance the friendship between the two colleges. This exchange experience inspired members’ creative thinking and strengthen their leadership skills. The Study Camp laid good foundation for future collaborations in areas such as academic management, innovative practice, cultural education, and sustainable development within the college system.

京澳兩書院師生重聚澳門，研學營共探可持續發展策略

2024年1月14日至19日，清華大學秀鍾書院師生一行18人在副院長岳東北教授的帶領下，到訪澳門大學霍英東珍禧書院（下稱“珍禧書院＂），參加「城市與歷史自然的和諧發展–旅遊城市可持續發展研學營」，兩院師生共同探討澳門作為世界旅遊休閒中心的可持續發展策略。澳門大學霍英東珍禧書院與清華大學秀鍾書院於去年締結姊妹書院，這是繼珍禧書院與去年12月到訪秀鍾書院後的首次回訪交流活動。

在開營儀式上，澳門大學學生事務副校長、霍英東珍禧書院代院長莫啟明教授致辭歡迎秀鍾書院師生的到訪，並期待兩書院之間未來更深入的交流合作。書院邀請了澳門大學憲法與基本法研究中心主任蔣朝陽教授和人文學院邵朝陽教授分別作了題為「一國兩制在澳門的成功實踐」和「媽閣不是座城」的講座。師生們深刻領悟到一國兩制是澳門回歸後保持長期繁榮穩定的最佳制度安排，並從澳門的歷史文化角度瞭解澳門的包容性特徵。在學生領袖座談會上，兩院院生們分享彼此的經驗和見解，共同探討了學生組織在推動書院發展中的重要作用，激發大家的創新思維和領導力。

研學營期間，兩院師生一起探訪澳門世界遺產歷史城區，了解澳門的獨特的歷史文化，並體驗了葡磚畫製作和舞龍舞獅等非物質文化遺產項目，思考世界遺產城區的保育措施和宣傳推廣；去度假村酒店考察環保項目，了解酒店的綠色能源和可持續發展項目；還前往路氹區進行生態觀察和考察舊區活化項目，探討在城市發展的同時，如何平衡自然生態和舊區開發。通過這些實地考察和交流，兩院院生深刻認識到城市與歷史自然和諧發展的重要性，以及如何在旅遊開發中保護生態環境、傳承歷史文化遺產。

在研學營的結業儀式上，院生們分組展示了他們在不同主題項目的考察結果和建議，包括世界遺產歷史城區的保護與推廣、度假村的可持續發展、舊區活化項目和自然生態保育。這次研學營不僅讓秀鍾書院的學生對澳門有了更深入的了解，還促進了兩書院之間的交流與友誼，為兩院今後在書院制辦學、實踐創新、文化育人和可持續發展等方面的深入交流合作奠定了基礎。
