Guilin Service Learning Trip 桂林服務學習之旅 (Jan 2025)
桂林位於廣西壯族自治區，以「桂林山水甲天下」享譽全國，擁有豐富的自然資源。隨著經濟發展，各種工業和服務業在桂林設廠，創造了大量就業機會，吸引了眾多農民工進城工作。為了照顧子女，他們常常全家搬入城市生活。
然而，由於缺乏當地戶籍，這些農民工子女只能進入私立小學。楊元龍基金會了解到這一點，決定支持專收農民工子女的私立小學，提供更全面的教育。基金會希望通過實地教學，向學生傳遞可持續發展的理念，培養他們的環保意識。為了實踐這一理念，科大侍學行將於2025年1月與基金會再次合作舉辦學習營，激發小學生對創新和環保的關注，共創可持續未來。
我們現正招募義工參加桂林服務學習之旅，為來自桂林市建安小學約一百名9至11歲的學生舉辦四天的互動課堂，以趣味的方式傳遞新知識，激發他們的學習熱情，並讓他們了解更廣闊的世界。我們還將參觀由溢達集團成立的桂林市「十如──溢達可持續發展園林」，該園林旨在實踐可持續生產模式並推動企業智能化轉型，讓學生親身體驗製造業如何與大自然和諧共存。
參加者將有機會：
- 藉著工作坊和教學活動了解當地兒童的情況、面臨的困難及需求
- 設計並帶領不同主題的活動，讓孩子們走出課室學習，激發他們的創新力
- 透過自我反思和個人成長來豐富自己的經歷
- 在服務學習之旅中分享個人經驗，並在科大宣揚關愛的精神
Since 2007, the Y.L. Yang Foundation has implemented learning camps in rural areas in China, providing opportunities for primary school students to learn and receive tutoring. The initiative integrates talents, resources, and education to enhance local educational infrastructure and promote the development of future generations. In January 2025, HKUST Connect will collaborate with the foundation to organize a learning camp for students in Jian-An Primary School, located in Guilin city. During the trip, volunteers will organize a variety of workshops to stimulate students' interest in innovation and environmental protection, collectively creating a sustainable future.
We are currently recruiting volunteers for the service trip to teach approximately 100 P4-P5 students, for a 4-days program. You will deliver new knowledge through enjoyable and interactive classrooms, stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, and broaden your understanding of the world.
You will be able to:
- Understand the circumstances, challenges, and needs of local children through workshops and teaching activities
- Foster children's innovation by designing and leading various themed activities that encourage learning beyond the classroom
- Accelerate personal growth through self-reflection
- Share your experiences during and after the service trip to spread a caring message within the HKUST campus
