CCCN Macau combined the festive season with their milestone of completing their 1st Anniversary as a Culture Centre. CCCN Macau has hosted many activities, workshops, art exhibitions, and many more over the past year with the hard work of the staff and through the brilliant vision and guidance of Agnes Wong (Director of CCCN Macau). Over the past year, some staff members attended the Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Summit at the United Nations University in Macau. The Summit focused on the five Ps of the SDGs: People, Prosperity, Peace, Partnership, and Planet. Since then, CCCN Macau has tried to implement some of these points into their events and the way they work within the community. Together with the five Ps and as well with the motto of “Cor Ad Cor Loquitur” (“Heart speaks to Heart”) in which CCCN Macau strives on from St. John Henry Newman, has created a special bond within the community over the past year and in many years to come. They will continue to work tirelessly to find the best beneficial goals mutually for individuals and the community.
