Moon Chun Memorial College Dom Pedro V House House Gathering
滿珍紀念書院Dom Pedro V House聚會
On September 5, 2023, Dom Pedro V House of University of Macau Moon Chun Memorial College organized a meet-up event to foster connections among its members and promote house culture. The gathering aimed to bridge the gap between freshmen and senior students, allowing them to bond and feel a stronger sense of belonging to both the college and the House. The event provided an opportunity for students to improve their interpersonal communication skills and prepare them for their university life.
Student leaders and house members helped in the organization of the event.
During the two-hour gathering, attendees enjoyed food and engaged in meaningful face-to-face conversations to better acquaint themselves with one another. Some shared their experiences of adjusting to university life, including the challenges of adapting to new teaching methods and the English language. Others formed friendships based on shared interests and planned future outings. A game called Time Bomb was played, where students passed a “bomb” around until the music stopped. Some students danced, told jokes, or sang. The rules were later changed to include question rounds. For instance, students discussed what impressed them the most about the University of Macau, with answers ranging from the beautiful campus to the warm and welcoming people in the College. Some mentioned that they were still adjusting to the climate in Macau.
Students begin to get to know each other and communicate with each other in depth.
Gradually opening up to each other during the interactive game.
During the gathering, students find like-minded partners and talked about their new life at UM and how they are looking forward to life at UM and MCMC.
The event concluded with a group photo taken with the Interim College Master, Prof. Kwok-cheung CHEUNG, and the Dom Pedro V House Mistress, Dr. Peggy Lau. Through this activity, participants gained a deeper understanding of their house’s culture and strengthened their teamwork and mutual understanding. Although they were reluctant to part ways, they looked forward to future meetings. It is believed that this event helped everyone become more familiar with Moon Chun Memorial College, Dom Pedro V House, and each other.

2023年9月5日，澳門大學滿珍紀念書院Dom Pedro V House舉辦了一次聚會，這次聚會旨在拉近成員之間的聯係並宣傳House文化。通過這次活動，新生和舊生得到一次深入接觸交流的機會，不但增加了彼此的感情，也增進了他們對書院和House的歸屬感。另一方面，活動也提高了他們人際溝通的技巧，為之後的大學生活做準備。
學生領袖和House成員在協助活動
在兩個小時的聚會中，參與者一邊享受美食一邊進行有意義的深入交談，從而更瞭解彼此。其中一些人分享了自己正在適應大學生活的經驗，包括適應新的教學方式和英語教學的挑戰。還有一些人找到了和自己志同道合的夥伴，並計劃在是次活動後進行其他活動。後來我們進行了一個小遊戲名爲“時間炸彈”，學生需要把“炸彈”不停傳給下一位同學，知道音樂暫停。收到“炸彈”的學生會有展示才藝的機會，有些人跳舞，有些人唱歌，有些人講笑話。後來，遊戲規則有所改變，增加了提問環節。例如，學生們討論了澳門大學給他們留下最深刻印象的地方，有同學回答到從美麗的校園到熱情好客的澳門大學人不等。也有學生提到，他們仍在適應澳門的氣候。
學生們開始相互瞭解，深入交流
在互動遊戲中逐漸向對方敞開心扉
在聚會中，學生們找到了志同道合的夥伴，暢談了他們在澳門大學的新生活以及他們如何期待在澳門大學和滿珍紀念書院的生活
在活動的最後，參加者與滿珍紀念書院院長張國祥教授和Dom Pedro V House導師劉沛棋博士合影留念。經過這次活動，同學們加深了House的文化，同時也增強了團隊精神和互相理解。雖然離開的時候大家都依依不捨，但我們更期待下一次的相遇。相信這次活動可以幫助他們更加瞭解滿珍紀念書院和Dom Pedro V House。
