Inter Cultural Education would not be able to deliver its quality programmes without our dedicated Core Team and our passionate Guests and Trainers.

TILL KRAEMERCo-Founder and General ManagerTill Kraemer was born in Munich, Germany. He attended Oxford University and received a masters degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. During university, he engaged heavily in one of the oldest and most famous student societies, the Oxford University Science Society, and he successfully invited world-famous speakers to inspire students at Oxford. Outside of university, he also assisted the world’s largest student-run organization, AIESEC, to facilitate a cultural exchange program in Moscow, Russia. He was later sent to work in Singapore for the globally renowned car manufacturing firm, Porsche. Till’s passion, however, lies in education. He turned down the offer from the world-class electronic company Siemens and decided to work in education sector upon graduation. His first step was Taiwan where he was put in charge of the school’s international activities. He later joined ICE in 2011 and has managed global programmes with more than 50 secondary schools in Hong Kong so far. |
JEY CHANProgramme ManagerHailing from the sunny country of Singapore, Jey studied under the Economics and Management program offered by the University of London. Since then, he has embodied ICE’s motto of developing a culturally diverse mindset by traveling to various places. He’s undergone military exercise at the desert of Jhansi, India, taught English at the high mountains of Kyrgyzstan, and was invited to give a speech for an education forum in Taiwan. He joined ICE in late 2014 and is now the Program Manager of ICE, hoping to inspire young adults to make international friends and learn about the world. |
AGGIE LAMOperations ManagerHong Kong native Aggie graduated with a Neuroscience degree from King’s College London and a Masters in Food Science, Nutrition and Technology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She enjoys traveling and has already been to over 25 countries like Greece, United Arab Emirates, and Peru. After a particularly meaningful volunteering experience in Vietnam, she has chosen to follow a career path that will allow her to make a social impact and is now the Operations Manager of ICE. |
VERENA WONGMarketing Communications ManagerVerena is a graduate from Lingnan University. She found herself not knowing the world enough during study, but she met ICE by coincidence. She believes people can learn about the world without experiencing travel and opportunities will come when you step out your comfort zone. |
SHARMAKEAdviserSharmake completed his studies at Hirde School of Leadership and Communication in East Africa. He is currently completing an undergraduate degree in computer science at the University of the People. Travelling at a young age made him curious to see the world differently, and therefore, he thinks looking at the world in white and black is a very lazy way to live. His dreams are to build a bridge between people in different parts of the world including his home nation Somalia. Sharmake speaks multiple languages and educated the public through his tales of living in a country with no government for more than a decade. |
