Family & Wellbeing

The Kerry Group encourages employees' children to participate in a one-year overseas exchange program, to promote inter-cultural study and stimulate personal development.

The 2020-2021 returnees have been invited to share their experiences alongside with their parents and AFS representatives. Feel free to watch the sharing session through the following video recording.

Sharing from Kerry Returnees


"Don't be afraid to make mistakes, keep trying! There will be hard times. Always try and learn from your experience. Communication is key. Be open to express yourself, it is crucial to avoid misunderstandings as we share different background and values. I can understand 80% of German now. I only knew the basics before getting there. I've met so many friends this year, and slowing develop a sense of belonging in Switzerland. Upon my return to HK, I will be taking DSE public exam. I will try my best to get into local university." Above is a sharing by Cyrus, son of Kerry Properties' colleague, Priscilla Wong.



”Finland has been named the happiest country in the world. This sparked my curiosity to study there. It was a precious experience before getting into university. More than travelling, this is a way of living! There will be unpredictable encounters, which makes you grow into a persevering and independent individual. Finnish enjoy their own personal space and have strong sense of self. They seldom make comparisons amongst others and will do it their own way.  A fun fact is that there is only 4 hours of daylight during winter, which makes the arrival of Spring extra special!"  Above is a sharing from Odin, son of Kerry Wines' colleague Candice Chan.
