To encourage students to utilise their academic knowledge and skills to address community needs and become civically informed and engaged citizens, the College has launched new credit-bearing service-learning courses starting from the 2023/24 academic year. The courses aim to provide students with practical opportunities in developing and implementing service-learning projects to actively serve their service target group and resolve the identified social issue in collaboration with local community service providers.
Course Structure
The service-learning courses will span across two semesters:
Semester 1: Investigation and Preparation (Sept-Dec 2024)
Students will engage in the investigation of community needs, and identify the potential actions to do.
GESH2011 Service-learning:Bringing Knowledge to Life
Semester 2: Execution and Reflection (Jan-Apr 2025)
Students will develop and implement their service plan. They will deliver a presentation after the services to consolidate their learning experiences of the service-learning courses.
GESH2012 Service-learning:Action towards Personhood
