About The Event
Bearing the rationale of Lean Poverty Alleviation Initiative (LPAI) in nurturing CUHK students to devote themselves to community enhancement initiatives, students in this project were immersed in a service-learning atmosphere, and trained as docents. They led community tours for secondary school students (particularly those from low-income households, new immigrants and ethnic minorities), to understand the culture and history of Hong Kong. Concurrently, through the interaction, CUHK participants would experience enrichment in their self-confidence, problem-solving skills, and cooperation skills while planning and executing the tours, as well as polishing their leadership talents, story-telling and communication techniques.
