On May 10th, from 5:10pm, the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) held the International Cultural Fair & Languages Day (ICFLD) 2019 at the Ilha Verde Campus. The event kicked off with the USJ International Parade, an activity where USJ’s multiculturalism was greatly showcased and that marked the end of the Official Inauguration Ceremony of the Ilha Verde Campus, which took place earlier that day.
The annual event was presided by the Rector of the University of Saint Joseph, Prof. Peter Stilwell, and counted with the presence of the USJ senior management team, as well as distinguished guests.
Over 1,000 students, staff and members of the local community joined the celebration of more than 30 nationalities of the USJ Community, conveyed through performances of typical songs and dances, set-up of cultural booths, offering of traditional snacks and beverages and by encouraging conversations between people of different ethnicities.
The first edition of the international cultural fair occurred in 2010. Its main objective continues to be the sharing of cultures through the opportunity to learn about the features that characterise us and make us unique. This year, like last year, the fair was combined with the USJ Languages Day, further demonstrating the English-Chinese-Portuguese trilingual learning environment of the University.
The event was organised by the Public and International Relations Office and the Faculty of Humanities, with assistance from the Office for Student and Alumni Affairs, and with generous sponsorship by the Macao Foundation.

On 7 May 2019, the handbook Direito em Português. A Língua e a Escrita was launched at the Don Bosco Auditorium of the Ilha Verde Campus, after a public lecture where the new Centre for Social and Legal Studies of the School of Business and Law of the University of Saint Joseph was officially announced by the USJ Rector, Prof. Fr. Peter Stilwell.
The handbook is a project of the Department of Portuguese Studies (Faculty of Humanities, USJ) sponsored by the Macao Government's Higher Education Bureau (DSES). One of the strategic goals of the Department of Portuguese Studies is the production of teaching materials that facilitate the development of language skills in specific areas of Portuguese. This handbook is intended for Law students who are native speakers of Chinese, and it constitutes an eminently useful practical reference for lawyers and other legal practitioners. The handbook is especially notable for its didactic perspective based on authentic documents integral to the reality of the legal profession in MSAR.
The author, Margarida Conde, is a member of the Department of Portuguese of the University of Saint Joseph. She holds a degree in Philosophy and Humanities from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and a Master's Degree in Portuguese Language and Culture, in Linguistic Studies, by the University of Macau.
She has taught Portuguese in several institutions of Macao, namely in the Centro de Formação dos Serviços de Administração e Função Pública (SAFP); in the Centro de Difusão de Línguas da Direção dos Serviços de Educação e Juventude; in Luso-Chinese Schools; the University of Macau and Instituto Português do Oriente (IPOR).
USJ celebrou o Lançamento do Manual “Direito em Português. A Língua e a Escrita”
O manual "Direito em Português. A Língua e a Escrita" foi lançado a 7 de Maio de 2019 no Auditório Don Bosco do Campus da Ilha Verde, depois de uma palestra onde o novo Centre for Social and Legal Studies da School of Business and Law da Universidade de São José (USJ) foi oficialmente anunciado pelo Reitor, Prof. Pe. Peter Stilwell.
O manual surge no âmbito de um projecto do Departamento de Estudos Portugueses (Faculdade de Humanidades da USJ) apoiado financeiramente pela Direcção dos Serviços do Ensino Superior (DSES). O Departamento de Estudos Portugueses definiu como um dos seus objectivos estratégicos a produção de materiais que facilitem o desenvolvimento das competências linguísticas em áreas específicas do português. Este manual destina-se a estudantes de direito de língua materna chinesa e constitui uma referência prática de muita utilidade a juristas e outros funcionários que trabalham com textos de carácter jurídico, legal ou judicial. O manual tem a particularidade de construir as suas propostas didácticas com base em documentos autênticos e sempre inseridos na realidade jurídica da RAEM.
A sua autora, Margarida Conde, é professora no Departamento de Português da Universidade de São José. É licenciada em Filosofia e Humanidades pela Universidade Católica Portuguesa e Mestre em Língua e Cultura Portuguesas, na variante de Estudos Linguísticos, pela Universidade de Macau.
Lecionou Português em várias instituições de Macau, nomeadamente no Centro de Formação dos Serviços de Administração e Função Pública; no Centro de Difusão de Línguas da Direção dos Serviços de Educação e Juventude; em Escolas Luso-Chinesas e ainda na Universidade de Macau e no Instituto Português do Oriente.

On 7 May 2019, the Rector of University of Saint Joseph (USJ), Prof. Fr. Peter Stilwell, announced the official launching of the “Centre for Social and Legal Studies”, under their newly renamed “School of Business and Law”, at an event held at the Don Bosco Auditorium at USJ’s Ilha Verde Campus.
The event had the honour of the presence of Deputy Directors Chang Kun Hong, and Silvia Ho of Macao's Higher Education Bureau (DSES), as well as over 80 participants from the legal and academic industry, and students from different Higher Education Institutions.
During his opening speech, Prof. Stilwell, explained that USJ has been developing research and postgraduate programmes in legal studies. This year, the university officially established the Centre for Social and Legal Studies under the School of Business, and renamed the faculty School of Business and Law, to provide legal training for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and legal professionals.
For the launching of the Centre, USJ’s School of Business and Law invited the Vice-President, and Dean of Faculty of Law of the Porto Regional Centre of UCP, Prof. Manuel Fontaine Campos, to give a public lecture on International Law and Trade War. The lecture focused on the trade measures adopted by President Donald Trump, especially those regarding China, and the countermeasures adopted by the affected countries. The lecture resulted in some interesting discussions among participates during the Q&A session.
After the public lecture, USJ also launched a book “Direito em Português. A Língua e a Escrita” by Margarida Conde, lecturer at the Department of Portuguese of the Faculty of Humanities. The book was the result of a project subsidised by the Macao Government’s DSES.
For the coming academic year, the School of Business and Law will be offering two legal programmes: a Postgraduate Diploma in Legislative Science (in Portuguese); and a Master of Lusophone and International Public Law (in English) which was co-designed and will be co-delivered with professors from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP).

Last Friday, 6 May 2019, the Easter Mass was held at the Ilha Verde Campus of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) at 3:30 pm. The mass was celebrated by the Bishop of Macao and Chancellor of USJ, His Excellency Bishop Stephen Lee Bun Sang, at the Holy Cross Chapel with staff and students.
In the homily, the Bishop explained the meaning of Easter and the role of the staff and students of USJ as a Catholic institution. Through the first book of the New Testament, he emphasised that each of us is given a specific mission to carry out to witness the mystery of Christ’s resurrection, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). In his words, “We seldom believe that we are valuable to the society and community”, the Bishop expressed his sincere concern for all. With the intention to encourage the USJ Catholic community, he reiterated the significance of having a courage with the popular verse from the Gospel of Luke. “But even the hairs of your head are counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:7).
On 10th May, the Official Inauguration of the Saint Joseph Ilha Verde Campus will be held. The campus started operating in 2017 and earlier in March this year, the Ilha Verde campus celebrated the blessing with the presence of His Eminence Cardinal Fernando Filoni, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples.
The Official Inauguration will be followed by International Cultural Fair and Languages Day 2019, with the aim to provide an arena for sharing the values of international community in which the USJ students and staff are comprised of 50 different countries and nationalities.

Prof. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, President of the Republic of Portugal, took the time to receive the Chancellor, Bishop Lee, and the senior management of the University of Saint Joseph, during his brief visit to Macao. In his speech, at the official reception that followed, President Rebelo de Sousa called attention to how China and Portugal met in Macao, well before they met in either Beijing or Lisbon. In fact, he added, the city has for 500 years hosted a persistent dialogue between these two peoples and their longstanding cultures, while respecting their differences. So, as we look to the future, schools and universities are playing a vital role in that ongoing exchange – and he singled out the Portuguese School of Macao and the University of Saint Joseph.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
As part of the celebrations of Africa Day, to be held on 25 May, Fashion Designer Patrícia Vasco (Maputo, Mozambique) will hold a workshop where she will demonstrate innovative techniques to create and upcycle garments with traditional African fabrics. Amorambique, her brand, was founded in 2013, meaning “love Mozambique”.
Initially only a collection to be presented at the Mozambique Fashion Week, it evolved into a bigger project. Emphasising the concept of social responsibility, Amorambique uses traditional African fabrics, like the “capulana”, to give new life to garments.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Born in Maputo, Mozambique, Patrícia’s passion for fashion started early in life as her mother, in addition to working at the Central Bank, did sewing work to make ends meet.
As her mother was always her biggest reference, Patrícia graduated in Banking Management and concluded a Master’s degree in Business Management. She worked in banking for five years and, in her last year, had the opportunity of working with credit analysis for SMEs, where she acquired enough experience to succeed in her latest role as business owner.
Because of her background in dance, in which she is also trained, she closely dealt with designers at the Mozambique Fashion Week, where the idea of creating a collection for children to be presented at the Mozambique Fashion Week Kids originated, with the intention of donating the garments after the show.

About the Talk 關於講座
Students with Special Education Needs(SEN) refer to those who need special educational support due to learning or adjustment difficulties, including specific learning difficulties, speech and language impairment, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. It is important to support their individual differences in order to create an inclusive society. Mr. Fritz Pang, an experienced registered Educational Psychologist, has been working in this field for over 35 years. In 2005, he successfully developedthe“9 Strategies of Holistic Development 9S®”, an integrateddiagnosis andtreatment for those in need. In 2009, the “9S®” was awarded the first prize for outstanding thesis by the 2ndChinese Maternal and Child Health Conference. Since then, “9S®” has been widely used in the educational and social welfare field in Hong Kong.In 2016, Mr. Pang established New Horizons Life Planningunder the support of the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund) provided by the HKSAR Government. With the application of “9S®” and multiple teaching strategies, the presentation willanalyze measureswhichcan be used to cater for the needs of SEN students while exploring their potential future pathways.
特殊教育需要學生包括:特殊學習障礙、言語障礙、智力障礙及自閉症譜系障礙。要創造一個共融社會,認識和支援他們的個別差異尤其重要。資深註冊教育心理學家彭智華先生從事特殊教育工作逾35年,對有特殊教育需要的學生及其老師、家長的需要有深入了解。彭先生於2005年研發《全腦開發九攻略®》簡稱9S,揉合多種治療方法,有效制定並提供全方位及多元化的治療計劃。2009年,《全腦開發九攻略®》論文獲第二屆中華婦幼健康大會評為優秀論文一等獎。9S策略現時廣為香港教育界及社會福利界所採用,幫助有特殊教育需要的學生得到最適切的支援。2016年,彭先生在香港政府社會創新及創業發展基金(社創基金)的支持下創立新領域生涯規劃,積極協助特殊需要學童及人士開展生涯規劃。講座將會透過9S以及加減乘除的教學策略,全面解讀特殊需要學生的學習需要以及未來路向,從而尋找及探索能更有效地支援他們的各種方法。

VENUE: Library Multi-purpose room, University of Saint Joseph (Ilha Verde Campus)
Our University Library is organising an event entitled "Life Library"; to raise the awareness of young generations for the role and impact a Library can have in their lives. We would like our community to understand that a Library is not only about books but people.
The primary purpose of this event is to create the opportunity and space for people to exchange their life experiences to others in an equal, respectful and informal environment. Secondly, to position or reposition the Library’s secure and healthy environment in their daily lives where they can learn, of course, and also where they can feel free to express their opinions and discuss their passions and motivations.

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) held its annual Open Day at the Ilha Verde Campus from 3:30pm to 6:00pm on April 13th to provide an opportunity for the general public, in particular, secondary school students and parents, to learn more about the learning environment and admissions process of the University.
The Opening Ceremony was held at 2:30pm and was followed by a guided campus tour. The ceremony was officiated by the Most Reverend Bishop Stephen Lee Bun Sang, Bishop of the Diocese of Macao and Chancellor of USJ; and Prof. Fr. Peter Stilwell, Rector of USJ. Distinguished guests included Mr. Hong Bo, Director of Department of Education and Youth Affairs of the Liaison Office; Mr. Sam Hio Tong, Division Head of the Resources and Student Welfare Division of the Higher Education Bureau; Mr. Sit Weng Tou, Division Head of the Socio-Educational Aids Division of the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau; Mr. Leong Ka Fai, Division Head of the Professional Development and Planning Division of the Social Welfare Bureau and Fr. Luís Sequeira, Member of General Council and Supervisory Board of the Catholic Foundation for Higher Education.
During the Open Day, booths with information and activities, as well as students’ works were exhibited to showcase the diversity of our academic programmes and the campus’ overall environment. Participants also experienced what it would be like to study at USJ by using its different studios and production labs. This year, USJ extended its campus tour to the Residential Hall, which includes USJ’s Fitness Room and Recreational Corner.
The University’s professors, staff and students, of over 40 nationalities, arranged different cultural experiences for visitors, including booth games, workshops and experiments. Teaching and learning facilities were open to the public for a glimpse of campus life, and around 235 visitors enjoyed an afternoon in the colourful and international environment of USJ.
From April 12th until April 27th, Dixon Lai, a graduating student of the Faculty of Creative Industries, is holding his Graduation Achievement Exhibition at the Kent Wong Exhibition Gallery. Visitors are welcome to visit the exhibition during the opening hours of USJ Library.
