Service-LearningAn adventure that will help you change the world

Do you want to do something good for the

community, apply what you have learned in your

university courses, and gain practical skills that will

benefit you for the rest of your life?

Service-Learning (S-L) offers you the opportunity

to do all of these things by connecting

academic knowledge to meaningful community

projects. It is an adventure that will teach you how

to make an impact on the world you live in.

For example, Lingnan students have created an

impact in their S-L projects in previous semesters

by:

* Disinfect subdivided flats to combat COVID-19

using UV-light technology (check out a video on

this project here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck1Gfn0utb8)

* Building an affordable air-purifier for the

underprivileged in Hong Kong

* Organizing an environmental awareness

campaign in Hong Kong’s Ocean Park

* Creating an international travel guide book for

active and adventurous Hong Kong elders

* Designing creative solutions to toilet hygiene

problems in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun

* Helping migrant workers with young babies and

children to deal with legal issues

* Inventing an affordable device that transforms any type of wheelchair into an electric one

Apart from providing research opportunities

in S-L projects, innovation

and entrepreneurship have also become

an important component in the SLRS. Liberal

arts education appreciates synergy

between humanities and technology. You

will be equipped with a set of tools to

integrate innovative elements in planning

your S-L projects, tools that will greatly benefit

you in your future professional career as well. In

Semester 1, Lingnan Entrepreneurship

Initiative (LEI) will organize two bootcamps on

startups in October, followed by a Startup

Weekend on climate action in November.

During the current COVID-19 situation, Service-Learning at Lingnan is still going strong. Projects will ensure safety of students and participants by way of innovative project design, such as digital service and online project coordination.

This booklet highlights the courses with S-L elements in this semester. If you want to choose what kind of S-L adventure you want to go on, you should plan and act quickly while places are available.

Grasp the S-L Opportunities Today. Be the Change You Want to See in the World.
