Peer Adventure Coach Experience
The Peer Adventure Coach Experience (PACE) is a student experiential-learning programme design to develop a team of trained Peer Adventure Coaches (PAC). Through structured training, professional instructor certification, and an empowerment project, students will acquire the knowledge, technical skills, and facilitation competencies required to design and lead adventure-based learning activities for the wider HKBU student community.
Lead Your Journey at Your Own PACE!
Echoing the project name “PACE”, we believe that every student has their own pace and developmental path. The programme aims to help students discover and cultivate their own life-learning rhythm while equipping them with the essential HKBU Graduate Attributes needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Programme Highlights:
- Earn Professional Adventure Certifications: Fully subsidized participation in two accredited adventure courses.
- Develop Practical Outdoor Skills: Learn weather observation, group-game design, knot applications, Leave No Trace principles or wilderness survival.
- Plan and Lead Adventure Activities: Gain hands-on experience supporting HKBU students and strengthen your CV.
- Build Personal Competencies: Enhance problem-solving, resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills.
We Welcome Students Who:
- Passionate about adventure activities, outdoor learning, sports, and nature exploration;
