HKBU Student Leadership Corps
About the Corps
Are you ready to enhance your leadership skills and foster personal growth? The Student Leadership Corps Programme, a comprehensive initiative designed to enhance your self-understanding, effective communication, and relationship-building skills through engaging workshops and training sessions, is now launching.
And the cherry on top - you'll even have the opportunity to embark on a study trip to the United Kingdom to explore and be inspired by different community programmes! Throughout the trip, students will have the opportunity to understand various support programmes for the underprivileged, visit NGOs and social enterprises, interact with the locals, and explore different social issues prevalent in the UK. Upon returning from the trip, you will have the chance to share your learnings and deliver your action plans for addressing social issues in Hong Kong.
