“Learn to Serve to Learn to Serve to Learn…”
The Centre for Teaching and Learning, the Student Affairs Office and the Patrick S C Poon Amity College co-organized the Service-Learning Fair at HSUHK.
Featuring bazaar booths and an exhibition on service-learning projects, the event provided students with the opportunities to know more about the meaningful work of different social enterprises while showcasing the fruits of HSUHK members’ service-learning projects.
An Opening Ceremony was held with on the first day of the fair; with Prof Hon S. Chan (Vice President, Learning and Student Experience) and Dr. Ben Cheng (Director of Centre for Teaching and Learning) as officiating guests. Community partner organizations that had collaborated with our University also attended the ceremony.
Bazaar booths by SAO, CTL and Amity College introduced students their projects via interactive games.
Social Enterprises’ and NGOs’ booths offered craft and snacks on sale for students and teachers while they can know more about their organizations’ goal in improving social problems in Hong Kong.
A Project Exhibition in the Library showcased projects of service-learning projects in HSU in recent years.
We have invited “Siswork”, a social enterprise that supports underprivileged women in creating their own craft-teaching career, to conduct a candle-making workshop for HSU students. Siswork staff introduced the challenges of grassroot women in Hong Kong and helped students know more about its related social issues. Participants enjoyed making their own colourful underwater-world candle at the workshop.
