If you don’t feel ‘full’ enough with the mental nutrition you can get within HKBU, if you are not satisfied with seminars and workshops related to culture so far, I strongly recommend you to follow the news of the Chinese Civilization Centre at CityU. Most lectures are open to public including students from other Universities.

There are varieties of on campus lectures and workshops by visiting professionals this semester. You may find some specific topics that interest you via this link (http://www.cciv.cityu.edu.hk/content.php?p=all&type=all). What’s more, the website also provides you with the archived video clips of past events.

In terms of poetry, there is also one relevant lecture this year: A Visit to the Footprints of Poets in Tang Dynasty (in Putonghua), from 16:00 to 17:50 on 28 Nov. The introduction of the Japanese lecturer can be found at http://www.cciv.cityu.edu.hk/content.php?p=info&id=seiichi_uchida.

In addition, according to my experience, you’d better research a bit about those lecturers. What’s more important, remember to get there earlier than the proposed start time of every event. The reason is, as far as I know, the centre usually doesn’t offer the service of seat reservation in advance.

As a ‘neighbor’, why not go to CityU to share the learning resource and tell your friends at CityU some good lectures at HKBU?
