Event

Have you ever thought of serving the elderly in need in the neighboring community with the talents and gifts you have? In Hong Kong today, more than 120,000 elderly who are aged 65 or above live alone and many of them are socially inactive due to multiple reasons including physical and mental health conditions. Here in the Student Residence Hall, we have a burden to serve the community and we would like to partner with you all in making a difference.

Pitch your idea to win a HK$10,000 award! 

The Undergraduate Halls (Halls) aims to provide a safe and comfortable living and learning environment conducive to whole-person development of all local and non-local students.  The Halls Think Tank Award (HTT) is a platform that invites residents to work in groups and propose innovative and practical resident-oriented ideas to improve hall life experience of residents.  The idea could cover any topics related to hall life including hall life education, administration and infrastructure, etc.

Residents of the Undergraduate Halls (Halls) are encouraged to organise programmes that promote the development dimensions of Hall Life Education at the Halls.  The programmes should be targeted to current Halls residents and arranged on or off-campus. The development dimensions are Residents’ Bondedness, Community Engagement, Personal Enrichment and Green & Health Mindfulness. (For details of the four dimensions: https://sa.hkbu.edu.hk/sas/hle/page/detail/7281). Successful applicants can receive up to HK$5,000 to run the programme.
