Welcome to the UK: Youth!
Hong Kong teens: are you a bit surprised by all the differences you encountered in your new life in the UK? School systems are different, same for cultures too, and even your friends have changed! But fear not! For not all changes are bad - they can be beginnings to something new and exciting too! Let Natalie and Enoch come with you on this journey of change, and let us find out together how to adapt to changes and thrive in all these!
Ep. 1
Spot the Difference
School campuses are so much bigger, and the lunch breaks are so much shorter! Apart from these obvious differences, what else is different between school cultures in Hong Kong and the UK? And how can one adapt to this new environment easily? In this episode, Natalie and Enoch will share with us all the differences between Hong Kong and UK school lives!
Ep. 2
Growing through the Change
Do you prefer shumai or hotdog? Turkey or turnip cake? A faster or a slower pace of life? Changes in life after arriving in the UK can seem quite big: leisure activities have changed, food has changed, and even one's pace of life has changed! How to get used to all these changes? In this episode, Natalie and Enoch will share with us about how to cope with changes in everyday situations, and how to thrive in all these changes!
Ep. 3
Friendship and Thriving
Making friends in another culture is not an easy thing, not when you have to do it in a second language (English)! But sticking with friends back home is also not a permanent solution, especially not when they are 7 / 8 hours away from us! So, in this episode, let us explore with Natalie and Enoch about ways to make new friends and forming more social connections in the UK!
Are you a youth group leader / teacher / parent, looking to explore the topics of change and growth with teenagers from Hong Kong?
We have prepared a set of group activities and discussion topics that you can use with the videos. They are designed to provide guidance and a safe, open and friendly space for teenagers to explore the issues of change, growth, cultures, and friendship with their peers.
We hope you find this video series helpful! To help us to improve our services to BN(O) Hongkongers, please let us know what you think here!
