Overview
This week will take students on a week-long journey beyond the classroom to investigate Our Diverse Hong Kong - the city's dynamic economy, diverse society, vibrant culture, and rich natural environment through daily expeditions and hands-on challenges.
Students will have the opportunity to interview innovation leaders at Cyberport, navigate the unique multicultural rich of Chungking Mansions, discover Hong kong street arts (and interview the few still left neon sign makers in Hong Kong), enjoy Hong Kong's nature-rich environment while understanding the concept of Circular Economy in Hong Kong.
This week is curated to build essential twentyfirst century skills—including empathy, critical thinking, and resilience—while fostering a deeper connection to our home city, Hong Kong. The experience culminates in a collaborative, student-designed scavenger hunt across the Yau Tsim Mong district, where teams put their knowledge to the test and celebrate their discoveries.
