“Beyond the classroom, we discovered what it takes to bring a world-class sporting event to life”
The Service-Learning Section of the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) in partnership with the Triathlon Association of Hong Kong China, engaged more than 30 students from this academic year’s Service-Learning programme in the 2026 World Triathlon Cup Hong Kong on 7 November 2026.
Professor Jeanne Fu Vice-President (Learning and Student Experience) attended the event and officiated as the Starting Guest. Students took on a range of responsibilities across the event, including the VIP Zone, Athlete Recovery Zone, Carnival, Crowd Control and Anti-Doping. Working alongside event professionals, students gained first-hand exposure to the coordination, teamwork and professional standards involved in delivering a major international sporting event.
The project extended learning beyond the classroom, enabling students to apply their knowledge while contributing to an international sporting event. It reflects HSUHK’s service-learning approach of bringing academic learning, community engagement and meaningful service together.
