In our interconnected world, understanding different cultures enriches our lives, enhances cross cultural communication and broadens our perspectives. Recently, it was our honour to organise an Arabic calligraphy workshop for China Mobile International Limited, this engaging experience provided staff with an opportunity to learn and create Arabic calligraphy and have a deeper understanding of the lives in Hong Kong of people from diverse backgrounds.
Participants first learned the fundamentals of this time-honoured art, Arabic Calligraphy, deeply exploring its historical and cultural connections. Cultural Ambassadors shared their stories and challenges living in Hong Kong, revealing another level of our community and fostering mutual understanding and communications.
“Different cultural backgrounds but a shared cultural recognition towards Hong Kong."
Participants then learned vocabulary closely related to our daily lives, experiencing the writing and pronunciation of Arabic words for the first time. They used the newly learned vocabulary to create their art work and shared the ideology behind their artwork, highlighting the richness of diversity within the workplace. This diversity not only can enhance the dynamics of the team but also creates an environment that encourages creativity and innovation.
“Every region and country has its own unique culture, and we can learn about different countries and regions by understanding their diverse cultures.”
“The most impressive part was artwork sharing, we can know different people have different understandings towards things.”
Thank you for the enthusiastic participation, through the workshop, participants had a newfound knowledge of Arabic calligraphy and a broader understanding of the lives of different local ethnic groups in Hong Kong. The workshop was not only a cultural experience but also an opportunity to relax and broaden horizons, offering new insights into daily work.
