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:Distinguished Lecture: Looking Forward to the Next 10 Years
DESCRIPTION:Title of Lecture: Navigating Globalization: 21st Century Survival Skills & the Future of the University \nSpeaker: Prof Matt Sparke\, Executive Director of Global and Community Health\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \nIn conversation with:\nProfessor Ian Holliday\, Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning)\, HKU\nProfessor Gray Kochhar-Lindgren\, Director of the Common Core\, HKU \n  \nThe Common Core Distinguished Lecture\, which celebrates our 10th Year Anniversary\, will be given by Professor Matt Sparke\, Executive Director of Global and Community Health\, Department of Politics\, at the University of California-Santa Cruz. Professor Sparke\, who also served as the Programme External Examiner for the Core\, will help us think together about how students and colleagues can best navigate the turbulence of globalization; how the University as a future-oriented institution might best respond; and how we might all develop more nuanced capacities not only for survival\, but for the emergence of a new flourishing of contemporary life. \nThe session is open to the public. Join us and register today. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nMatt Sparke is Professor of Politics and Executive Director of Global and Community Health at the University of California Santa Cruz.  His work concerns the changing geography of politics and citizenship in the context of globalization\, including their implications for global health in particular. His recent research has been focused on what he calls ‘biological sub-citizenship’ in the context of  health challenges such as COVID and the political-economic forces that intensify the damage that they inflict on society.  One example of this is his current work on the copathogenesis of COVID as a syndemic\, including all the exclusions from immunization created by the patent-based monopolies on vaccine IP.  More links to his publications can be found at his USCS website. \n

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.

SUMMARY:Communication! Future Readiness across Digital\, Visual\, Writing\, and Speaking Literacies.
DESCRIPTION:What\, in our time\, does it mean to “communicate” effectively? Why\, for students\, is enhancing communication skills absolutely essential?  \nMany undergraduate courses teach content but have assessment tasks which test both students’ knowledge of content and how they communicate this. Examples of the communication assessments are an essay\, a report\, an oral presentation\, a poster\, or a video. The CIC (Communication-Intensive- Courses) initiative promotes the teaching and assessment of communication skills alongside content. In this presentation\, we will first provide a summary of the communication assessments and what we have learned from the 100+ courses we have badged so far as part of the CIC initiative. Two teachers will then share their experiences of how the CIC initiative has helped them to enhance the assessments in their undergraduate courses. \nCome explore in an informal workshop co-hosted by the CC and CETL.\n\nhttps://www.cetl.hku.hk/tdgfest22/event/special-workshop/

SUMMARY:Student Workshop: Students-for-Change: The SDGs and Daily Life in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:The world is home to the largest generation in the history of young people between the ages of 15 and 24 years\, adding up to 1.8 billion. Close to 90 percent of the youth live in developing countries\, where they constitute a large proportion of the population (UN Youth Strategy). \nConnected to each other like never before and facing incredible challenges\, young people want to and already contribute to the resilience of their communities\, proposing innovative solutions\, driving social progress and inspiring political change\, in urban as well as rural contexts. Young people constitute a tremendous and essential asset worth investing in\, opening the door to an unparalleled multiplier effect. \nHow can the youth help to solve chronic\, complex problems or achieve meaningful goals in Hong Kong? \nIn this session we’ll explore the SDGs that are important in Hong Kong\, and suggest ways to use Systems Thinking to solve some of the critical sustainability issues. \nSystems Thinking helps to reveal the big picture and emphasizes that in order to optimize the performance of the entire system\, people need to move from trying to optimize a single part of the system to improve the relationships between its constituent parts. When it comes to Hong Kong’s SDG challenges\, Systems Thinking can help  to find the leverage points which can help to address large issues by small but meaningful actions\, \nThis workshop will cover some of the foundations (what systems thinking is\, why and when it is needed) and will introduce a simple systems maps exercise about Hong Kong’s sustainability issues in groups. By the end of the workshop\, participants will feel empowered with a new and important tool to address the SDGs in Hong Kong. \nFacilitator: Benita Chick\, Founder and CEO of Encompass Hong Kong \n
