This project aimed to bridge the cultural gap between the newly developed Queen's Hill community and the historic Lung Yeuk Tau village in Hong Kong's Fanling district. Despite their proximity, these communities represent distinct cultural and historical perspectives, resulting in limited interaction. The project sought to foster cultural integration through an innovative educational program that transformed primary school students into "cultural ambassadors." Collaborating with the Salvation Army Centaline Charity Fund Queen's Hill School, a structured curriculum was introduced, combining classroom learning with experiential activities to train students as junior tour guides for their peers and community members.The project's implementation included learning sessions, field trips to the Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail, docent training for student ambassadors, and a final exhibition showcasing their learning outcomes. Interactive teaching methods, such as small group instruction, role-playing, game-based learning, and creative projects like making traditional flower wreaths and paper-clay models, were employed to enhance engagement and deepen students' connection to their cultural heritage. The project began on February 22, 2024, with ice-breaking activities, followed by sessions exploring Fanling's geography, Lung Yeuk Tau's architectural and cultural significance, and the traditions of the Hakka and Tang families.The cultural ambassadors gained hands-on experience through guided tours and leadership training, culminating in a final exhibition on July 5-6, 2024. The event featured student-led presentations, creative displays, and interactive stations, attracting positive feedback from parents and the community. The project successfully increased students' understanding of local history, with ambassadors fluently explaining key sites' significance without notes. It also raised awareness of Lung Yeuk Tau's heritage, as 44.4% of survey respondents admitted they had never heard of the area before the project.The project highlighted the effectiveness of experiential learning in fostering cultural appreciation and community cohesion. It demonstrated the importance of adaptability, creativity, and stakeholder engagement in addressing cultural disconnection. By empowering students as cultural ambassadors, the project not only preserved local heritage but also strengthened community bonds, offering a model for integrating education and cultural preservation in rapidly urbanizing contexts
