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

SUMMARY:HKU-Cambridge Intercultural Communication Workshop for STEM Students
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Languages and Inter-Communications (CLIC) at the University of Cambridge will offer a 3-hour intercultural communications workshop for HKU STEM students. Participants will have opportunities to reflect on their own communication style and the challenges posed by collaborative work across borders\, as well as network with students in the UK. The workshop is part of Common Core’s Future Readiness initiative to build the workforce of the future. \nDate/ Time: \nWednesday\, January 26\, 2022\n5:00 PM to 8:00 PM (HKT)\nOnline via Zoom \n  \nAvailable for all undergraduate students enrolled in STEM-related programmes. \nRegister now at https://forms.gle/NBWwaYsYdbLC1Ugf9. Limited spaces are available. \nZoom link will be sent to you upon confirmation of your successful selection. \n  \nMore about the workshop: \n“Global mindset\,” “cultural intelligence\,” “intercultural competence” … no matter how you want to call the skills that are necessary to successfully interact with people who might not see the world like you due to culture\, geography\, background\, age or other factors\, they are paramount in the industry. Engineers and scientists need to be experts in their field (hard technical skills) but without the ability to influence\, negotiate\, build trust\, lead\, communicate ideas to different audiences (soft skills\, also referred to as power skills in a recent report)\, projects have a much smaller chance of succeeding. When in an intercultural setting\, have you ever struggled with your peers’ style of communication\, wondered why some people seem to use more formal language\, be more direct than others\, or perhaps less flexible with time than you are accustomed to? Culture plays a big part in how we communicate and enhancing communication is so much more than choosing to speak the same language. \nIn addition\, remote learning mode brings further complications to the equation. The challenges of video conferencing such as the ‘Zoom fatigue\,’ the caveats of written communication (emails or text messages)\, or practicalities of working together across different time zones\, add some extra pressure on the already vulnerable intercultural communication. \nIn this new pilot workshop in partnership with the University of Cambridge CLIC\, we will allow 10 students from each institution to take part in an interactive session in which you will have opportunities to reflect and learn further about the following topics: \n\nWhat and why can go wrong in international collaboration\nWhat is culture and how it goes far beyond nationality\nWhat are culture dimensions including group vs. personal preferences\nWhat is intercultural competence and how to become immediately more effective in intercultural communication\nWhat is good practice for successful remote collaboration

DESCRIPTION:After careful consideration of the health and safety of our participants and partners under the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 virus in the community—and after consultations with our HKU partners—we have made the difficult decision to postpone this event yet a later date.\n  \nMotion pictures were invented in 1895. Yet earliest attempts to collect and preserve film only began in the 1930s in Europe and the United States of America. Due to neglect\, natural disasters\, wars & other socio-economic reasons\, the survival rate of early films is extremely low. Archival institutions around the world believe that only half of the films made before the 1950s survive. \nIn this seminar\, Gladys Lau and Aki Kung from the Reel to Reel Institute (RTRI) will introduce the history and technological development of cinema: from black and white to colour; from silent to talkies\, and the properties of the most important and fascinating entity－celluloid film\, the carrier of moving images. RTRI will also discuss how this delicate medium of art aged and decayed over time\, and the physical\, photochemical and digital methods practised by archivists and conservators to restore film heritage for long term preservation and greater public access. \nA rare 16mm copy of one of the earliest silent comedies of Charlie Chaplin will also be shown\, along with a live music accompaniment by local musician Bunn Lau\, to recreate the viewing experience of silent cinema in the early days. \nAbout Reel to Reel Institute \nA non-profit organisation founded in 2018 that aims at promoting film preservation\, and wider access of audio-visual heritage in Hong Kong by delivering public screenings\, publications\, education programmes and digitisation/restoration projects. \nRegistration \nTo attend\, please register your interest here https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?ueid=79087 \nAll HKU students and staff are welcome!

SUMMARY:A Half-day Retreat @ HKU + Lung Fu Mountain: Demystifying Mindfulness from the perspectives of Psychology and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:We spend most of our time learning about the outside world and try to change small parts of it\, but most of us know very little about our own inner mindscape\, and even less about how to change it for the better. \nMindfulness is one of the most simple yet also profound ways of knowing while transforming our own consciousness into one with more clarity\, peace and happiness. It is a widespread practice across different religious traditions and nowadays being even widely applied in fields like psychology\, medicine and education. \nWe now invite you to explore these questions together with us by joining this half-day retreat @HKU + Lung Fu Shan: \n\nHow can mindfulness connect us to a deeper understanding of self and meaning of life?\n\n  \n\nWhat insights can we gain if we could learn from both religious and non-religious approaches of mindfulness?\n\n  \n\nWhat will happen to our daily life and surrounding if we can practice mindfulness from the here and the now?\n\n  \nQuota: 15 (HKU members\, first come first serve) \nVenue: HKU campus + Lung Fu Mountain* \nFormat: Talks + experiential practices in mindful breathing\, sitting\, stretching and hiking \n  \n*Further details will be sent to you upon successful registration \nRegister Now: https://bit.ly/HKUMindfulRetreat \n  \nMore about The New Mindscape: https://asiar.hku.hk/the-new-mindscape/
