Join the Video Competition: Express Your Gratitude to FHM Teachers!

As we reflect on this academic year, have you thought about expressing your appreciation to the teachers who have inspired, supported, and motivated you on your academic journey? Here’s your chance to organize a memorable activity—such as chartering a tram party, a night squid fishing trip, a banquet, a party room gathering for karaoke, or even hosting a seminar or publishing a book—to thank your teachers.

This is not just an opportunity to create lasting memories with your teachers and friends—it’s also a meaningful way to foster a culture of care in our University community and show gratitude for the impactful work of our educators.

You’re invited to participate in the Video Competition of Showing Appreciation to Teachers, organized by the Centre for Language in Education (CLE) and supported by the Faculty of Humanities (FHM). Details are as follows:
