This spring, 40 students of the General Education Foundation Course ‘In Dialogue with Nature’ had the rare opportunity to experience nature’s awakening via toiling with the earth—as partial fulfilment of their coursework. Commonly taken by Year 1 and 2 students, this course traditionally features a ‘participation’ scheme that awards students for participating in online discussion forums. This semester, Dr. Kenneth Li (SHHO member), one of the lecturers of the course, offered a new option to his class  to participate in three sessions of hands-on vegetable planting on the rooftop of Hui Yeung Shing Building instead. The new option, offered as a trial, proved so popular that students had to draw lots to get in. Please click here to peruse the news.
