University of Macau Moon Chun Memorial College hosted “Sing your heart out” concert on October 23, in alignment with the university’s Mental Health Awareness Month initiatives. This event sought to promote a positive attitude through the transformative power of music while encouraging students to pay attention to mental health. The atmosphere was both warm and inspiring, attracting over a hundred faculty and students.

The concert featured 15 compelling performances, during which the performers not only exhibited their musical talents but also shared personal stories and experiences on stage, allowing their emotions to resonate within their performances. Each song, accompanied by a narrative, served as a powerful medium for conveying messages of hope, courage, and acceptance, motivating the audience to confront the challenges and pressures associated with personal growth.

MCMC is committed to addressing mental health topics through innovative and student-centered initiatives, fostering an open, inclusive, and supportive environment.  Acknowledging the profound healing and connecting capabilities of music, the college plans to continue facilitating a diverse range of events aimed at promoting balanced physical and mental well-being, ultimately assisting students in developing a positive attitude on life and collaboratively building a healthier and more harmonious community.

“The event on the 23rd was really fun and well organised. I’m really happy I got to see fellow singers and artists perform as well as doing so myself. The stage was really nice, the lights were fun and I had a great time there.” –  Lilou Corine B Halsberghe
