This past year is the first year that we are able to resume in-person service-learning projects, as well as the first year that we can travel for service-learning.
In 2018-19, the last full year before the pandemic, we sent out ~1,000 students on non-local SL, to Mainland China and foreign countries. Fro 2019 to 2022, travel was practically impossible. We only re-started, gingerly, non-local SL in the summer of 2022.
In 2022-23, we are very happy that we were able to send out ~700 students.
This photo exhibition sends the message to the campus that service-learning is back, and we are making a big effort to provide more opportunity for students to serve away from Hong Kong.
The exhibition lets the campus know what non-local service-learning is like. Hopefully, it will encourage more students - and staff - to get involved.
In 2023-24, we hope to send ~1,500. But we are not just aiming at numbers. The photos are evidence that our projects are meaningful, challenging, and impactful. They bring real, tangible benefits to the community, while providing great learning opportunities for our students.
Service-Learning is back, bigger, and better.
