(Updated on 13.5.2022)

A.    Introduction:
One of the main aims of the Committee on Language and Culture (LACC) of New Asia College is to promote language learning and encourage intercultural exchanges among students from around the world. In lieu of that aim, the LACC is hosting a video competition for all New Asia College students to share your creativity on food and food culture through short videos. To join this competition, you just need a simple set of equipment, like your mobile phones, to film a short 3- to 5-minute original video related to the theme in English, Cantonese or Putonghua. The video can be submitted as an individual or a group.

3.    strengthen your English, Cantonese or Putonghua speaking and writing skills by presenting a short documentary in your work of art (Competencies and capacity building)
4.    develop an international outlook and appreciation for cultural diversity as you create the video or watch the videos (International outlook)
