I･CARE Centre for Whole-person Development E-newsletter

The I·CARE NGO Internship Programme (Mainland & Taiwan) collaborates with the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the Mainland and Taiwan to offer non-local internship opportunities to students. It is in partnership with the Global Internship Programme organised by the Office of Student Affairs. Lasting for 8 weeks, this Programme provides students with a better understanding of the communities of the NGOs they served, in addition to reflecting on their values and their connection with the communities in a wider perspective.
