To commemorate the 31st anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Chao Kuang Piu College organized the “Inspiring Seminar: The rights guaranteed by the Basic Law of the Macau SAR” on 13th March 2024. Dr. LAI Kuan Ju, Research Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Law of the University of Macau, gave the lecture to over 20 students.

The seminar centered on the concept of law, explaining in depth the important relationship between law and society, the purpose of the constitutional law, the legal status of the Basic Law and so on, as well as to enable the participants to understand the connection between the Basic Law and themselves. At the same time, the program also introduced the basic rights in the Basic Law that are closely related to life.

Through this activity, Chao Kuang Piu College hoped to enhance the civic responsibility and knowledge integration ability of the participants, and to incorporate the promotion of the two laws into their college life in order  to cultivate a sense of legal awareness and patriotism among the students. Participants said that the activity helped them to learn more about the rights conferred by the Basic Law, realizing the close relationship between the Basic Law and themselves.

Professors, scholars, and professionals from different background share their perspectives on a wide range of contemporary topics. It promotes interdisciplinary exchanges and broadens students’ horizons, creating an environment of intellectual growth in both science and humanities, and fostering and enhancing students’ competencies in various fields.
