On 15^th November 2025, Camões House and Mandarin House of Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau jointly organized a barbecue gathering at Hac Sa Beach. A total of 36 students participated in the event, which featured outdoor team-building sports games and a group barbecue, aiming to cultivate students’ collaborative skills and promote a healthy lifestyle.

The event consisted of two core sessions, conducted in an orderly manner with a lively atmosphere. First came the outdoor sports collaboration games, where students worked in harmony and competed energetically on the spacious seaside grounds. Through physical activity, they relaxed and connected with one another, not only increasing their physical engagement but also strengthening their sense of teamwork through fun and friendly competition. Afterwards, the event shifted to the group barbecue. All participants worked together, from starting the fire to preparing ingredients. Such practical challenges enabled proactive communication and collaboration, fully demonstrating excellent hands-on skills and team spirit. Around the grills, students sat together to share food and exchange daily insights, with friendships deepening through cooperation and sharing.

The trip to Hac Sa Beach not only allowed students to take a break from academic pressure and connect with nature but also subtly strengthened their sense of belonging and social skills. The event effectively fostered teamwork, promoted a healthy lifestyle, and created wonderful collective memories for all participants.
