Our first Institute (Study Tour) in 2002 and subsequent institutes from 2004 to 2010
were all executed with great successes. Feedbacks were extremely
positive. Students' instrumental playing skills and English proficiency
have significantly improved. Cross-cultural friendships were built.
Global experience was added to each of the participant. Here are some of
the many feedbacks from the parents/participants evidencing the
institute is truly wonderful and value adding...

"I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the hard work of
the PURE UBC team for taking good care of the "troop". It is not an easy
task to manage a group comprised of young men, ladies, boys and girls
and to cater for the needs of the different age groups. I have kept in
close contact with my son (a 13 year old) during his stay in Canada.
Judging from the decreasing frequency of phone calls he had with me, I
deduced that he must be having a wonderful time and the reassurance of
the familiar voice from home was not needed. My son told me that he has
learned a great deal through the English classes and the music tuitions.
It certainly is an eye-opener for youngsters from Hong Kong to interact
with their peers in Canada. I will not hesitate to recommend this course
to anyone. Keep up with the good work."
