This workshop, jointly organized by Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Jockey Club Tai Kok Tsui Integrated Services Centre and our School, provides an opportunity for students to learn the skills required to get along with the mentally handicapped or the elderly. The activities under Other Learning Experiences promote the positive values of life and allow students to understand the needs of the community centre and their target service users through visits.

“Students are the master of learning. Ideas can only be generated from brainstorming among students. As the facilitators, teachers should jointly go through an analysis process with students, yet the final decision is to be made by students. Teachers should simply accept students’ ideas as long as they do not contradict the objective.”

“The most meaningful element of this activity is the transformation from ‘running activities for its own sake’ to ‘reflecting on the purpose of running activities’. I believe that any other curricular activities should be carried out based on the LED project. Changes can be made to such activities through application of the concept of the LED project, that is, to allow students to take the leading role.”

“I realized the importance of self-confidence and creativity. The frequent sharing enhanced my self-confidence, as I learnt that we were not inferior to others and we could make it only if we were confident.”

“Preliminary preparation is very important. Make an assumption about the potential problems and understand what the others actually need. After the project, discussion on deficiencies is still necessary. More importantly, find out how to make further improvement in the future.”
