SUMMARY:Passion Project Workshop: Work\, Play\, Love by Michael Rivera
DESCRIPTION:How do we nurture our passions and work towards our goals while also taking care of ourselves? \nWhat questions do we need to ask ourselves? \nHow and where can we seek professional and emotional support? \nAnd why does loving the work we do necessitate that we learn to love ourselves too? \n  \nIn his talk\, Michael will first share some of his own experiences trying to make sense of the many options that were presented to him throughout his life. When should one follow a gut instinct telling them a change in direction is necessary\, even though they may be leaving safety and stability behind? \nSecond\, Michael will speak about self-care\, self-expectations\, self-forgiveness and self-compassion. Following our passions definitely isn’t easy all the time\, and can require one to face new obstacles and sacrifices. \n  \nAbout the Facilitator: \nDr Michael Rivera is a biological anthropologist\, bioarchaeologist and science communicator currently working at the Common Core Office as a Research Assistant. All of his work centres around the study of human history and culture\, especially through the study of human remains from the past. He holds an MPhil and PhD from the University of Cambridge\, where he completed research on how humans have adapted to river and coastal environments. In the coming academic year\, he will teach his own Common Core course at HKU entitled\, “Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Humans”. \n  \nRegistration \nTo attend this event\, please register here.

SUMMARY:Student Sharing Session: A Community of Practice: The Value of Virtual Exchanges and Internships (Student Learning Festival)
DESCRIPTION:What does civic leadership mean in the digital age? What are the social problems that concern young people in Hong Kong and Birmingham? How can civic leadership developed in exchanges and internships help to address these issues? \nJoin us for a Community of Practice sharing session between students from the University of Hong Kong Common Core and the University of Birmingham Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences (LANS). Students will share their experiences working on social problems within a placement learning experience and the challenges of a dominantly virtual environment – either in virtual internships or caused by the pandemic. \nThe interactive session will include sharing\, generating ideas\, and developing possible standards and remedies. The outcome of the session is to formulate guidelines for students in online placement environments and how educators/ administrators can more effectively support students on virtual placements.
