On 25 April, over 40 staff and students from the University of Saint Joseph visited the Exhibition for National Security Education and the Macao Science Center, embarking on a local exploration tour.
The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) visited the Exhibition for National Security Education and the Macao Science Center on 25 April 2025. The Exhibition for National Security Education, themed “The 10th anniversary of National Security Education Day: Advancing Towards A More In-depth And Effective Implementation,” was divided into six sections. USJ aims to provide participants with diverse perspectives to deepen their understanding of the holistic approach to national security and its significance.
The USJ delegation visited the Complex of Commerce and Trade Co-operation Platform for China and Portuguese-speaking Countries, where they explored the exhibition through guided explanations, and video presentations. Participants gained a comprehensive understanding of national security and their potential roles in safeguarding it. Among the attendees were international students from Africa and Southeast Asia, who not only learned about the importance of national security in Macao but also engaged in cross-cultural exchanges with staff and peers.
In celebration of the Space Day of China, initiatives have been launched to deepen students’ awareness of the evolution and achievements in our nation’s aerospace endeavors. After the visit to the exhibition, the students proceeded to the Macao Science Center, where they gained an immersive experience in the planetarium. By watching the dome theater film “VOYAGER: the Never-Ending Journey 3D,” students enhanced their knowledge about the space exploration missions conducted by the twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Additionally, the free exploration of the Macao Science Center allowed them to delve into the mysteries of the universe, fostering a deeper appreciation for astronomy and science.
A year-one master’s student from the School of Education shared that the event effectively combined national security education with scientific discovery, strengthening their awareness of national security while enhancing her scientific awareness and knowledge through an interactive learning platform. She found the event rewarding, and wished that more activities in this area could be organised in the future.
