Forty students joined the “Serve-cation 2022-23” programme organised by the Leadership Qualities Centre of the Office of Student Affairs in June to serve the local communities in Thailand and Indonesia.

From 7 to 12 June, 20 students went to Thailand to visit a village school in Lamphun. They provided voluntary teaching to more than 100 students and interacted with the local residents. Adopting the brain-based learning approach, the students created three teaching plans for the school.

Meanwhile, the other 20 students went to Bali in Indonesia from 13 to 16 June. They participated in diversified activities such as visiting nearly 90 elementary school students, cleaning up the beach and planting 200 baby mangroves.

Before the trips, a series of workshops and preparatory meetings were organised to equip the students with the necessary attitude, skills and knowledge for the overseas exposure and service. Students will share their learning experience and reflections to the HKBU community in September.
