The Department of Health and Physical Education (HPE) was honoured to partner with the College of Physical Education and Health at East China Normal University to organise a four-week exchange programme from 17 May to 14 June 2026. The exchange programme was led by Prof. Amy HA, Mr. Roy CHAN and Dr. Claudia WONG, with 18 HPE students embarking on the journey.

A warm welcome from Ms. HUANG Lanlan (Party Secretary), Prof. WANG Xiaozan (Dean) and their colleagues from the College of Physical Education and Health marked the beginning of the exchange programme on 18 May. 

During the opening ceremony, Prof. Amy HA said she really looked forward to the exchange programme and introduced the distinctive features and talent development approach of the HPE department. She encouraged HPE students to broaden their horizons, strengthen mutual understanding, and build lasting friendships through the exchange programme. 

Over the last week, HPE students participated in various activities organized by East China Normal University, enabling them to gain deeper understanding of the traditional Chinese culture and the development of physical education in the Chinese Mainland. 

In the coming weeks, HPE students will participate in a wide range of activities, including lectures, workshops, local visits and other practical sessions, to gain further insights into the East China Normal University. Through these experiences, students will further broaden their academic and cultural perspectives, and learn from diverse approaches to sports education and health development.

We hope that HPE students will not only develop precious memories, but also gain professional insights throughout the four weeks. We look forward to fostering closer collaboration and deepening our partnership with the College of Physical Education, East China Normal University.
