CityUHK COM x BNU x HKBU Youth2 Videography Workshop

11 Sep 2026 (Fri)



From August 31 to September 5, 2026, the CityUHK Department of Media and Communication (COM) co-hosted the Youth2 Videography Workshop alongside the School of Journalism and Communication at Beijing Normal University (BNU) and the School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). Approximately 20 students from these three institutions participated in various activities, including visits to a television broadcasting company, campus tours, and a videography workshop. They also produced a mini video documenting their experience during the trip to Hong Kong. These activities are designed to broaden their perspectives and prepare them for future career challenges.


Prof. Shuhua Zhou, Chair Professor at CityUHK COM, gave a brief introduction to the videography workshop program

Liu Yantong, one of the student participants from CityUHK, was delighted to engage with fellow students and media experts. “The workshop has deepened my understanding of Hong Kong’s diverse media landscape. I learned about the industry’s operating context and the real-world challenges within Hong Kong’s communication sector. Beyond these professional takeaways, I truly value the opportunity to connect with peers from BNU. Exploring local life and experiencing the unique rhythm of day-to-day Hong Kong together with them has been an incredibly rewarding experience.”


Prof. Edmund Lee, Associate Professor at CityUHK COM, discussed recent research findings related to digital health.
