With the aim to provide career development education and service learning experiences to senior secondary students, the Department of Education Studies teams up with Caritas Hong Kong Family Service and their school social work team to initiate the “Weave a Dream Project Pilot Scheme”. Other than providing career talks and interactive workshops by experts and professional trainers from different fields, participating students will get the opportunity to engage in real work settings to build up their career development skills through authentic experiences.
The “Weave a Dream Project Pilot Scheme Launching Ceremony cum Training Seminar” was held on Saturday, May 6, 2017 at the Hong Kong Baptist University Tsang Chan Sik Yue Auditorium (AAB201). More than 250 secondary school students from 20 secondary schools and their school principals as well as the Director and leaders from Caritas Hong Kong Family Services attended the event. In the opening speech Prof. Atara Sivan, Head of the Department of Education Studies, said that as an inclusive learning community the Department cherishes community engagement and the cultivation of positive youth development and growth. She further emphasized that the objectives of “Weave a Dream Project” are beautifully in line with the Department’s mission and strategies and the Department is proud to provide the context, support and expertise for its implementation.
During this pilot scheme, the Department of Education Studies will engage the senior secondary school students in a range of learning experiences on campus.
