Welcome Message by the Vice Chancellor of NEUC
新纪元大学学院校长莫顺宗教授献词

Welcome to NEUC-CMEI, a center dedicated to the noble cause of cultivating cultural understanding and appreciation among our vibrant, multi-ethnic communities. In today's world, where diversity is our greatest strength, it is essential to foster mutual respect and comprehension of the rich tapestry of customs, traditions, and histories that each ethnic group brings to our society.

Our objectives are clear and vital. We strive to create opportunities for individuals to learn about and respect the unique heritage of different ethnic groups, both local and international. By educating the public on the similarities, differences, and challenges faced by these communities, we aim to bridge gaps and build a more inclusive society. Through engaging workshops, insightful seminars, and impactful awareness campaigns, we are committed to reducing prejudice and discrimination, fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. The cultural exchange program will be a landmark of unity, allowing individuals from various backgrounds to share their culture, language, and traditions. This initiative not only promotes integration but also instills a profound sense of belonging among diverse communities. By celebrating our differences and embracing our commonalities, we can create a harmonious environment where everyone feels valued and connected.

Thank you for joining us in this important endeavor. Together, we can pave the way for a future where cultural understanding and appreciation are not just ideals but a lived reality for all.

新纪元大学学院多元民族融合中心（NEUC-CMEI），是一个致力于民族间文化交流，增进彼此理解的中心。多元乃是我国立足世界的最大优势，因此促进族群之间相互尊重，理解彼此丰富的文化背景、传统和历史，极其重要。

新纪元多元民族融合中心的成立，目的是为国人提供更多珍贵的机会，了解和尊重从本土至国际不同民族独特的文化遗产。透过教育公众了解彼此的文化共同点、差异处，以及各别所面对的挑战；我们才有望缩短彼此的距离，构建一个更包容的社会。

通过工作坊、讲座和觉醒运动，我们尽最大的努力减少偏见与歧视，推动更包容体谅的社会文化。我们中心的文化交流项目，让不同背景的人分享他们的文化、语言和传统，增进民族理解、交融和团结。只有包容差异与接纳共性，我们才能创造一个受人尊重的和谐国家。

这是一项重要志业，让我们携手并肩，共同铺设这条族群和谐之路。
