You or your representatives are cordially invited to cover a seminar titled “Origin: Day of Values and Life Education for Chinese Culture” this Saturday (8 July).

Established in 2006, the Centre for Religious and Spirituality Education (CRSE) at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) is dedicated to fostering works in values and life education for Chinese culture. Over the years, the CRSE has organised four projects in values and life education for Chinese culture: “Chinese Culture-based Life Education Project”, “Study of Chinese Classics”, “In Praise of Filial Piety” and “From Self-cultivation to regulation of Family”. In celebration of the CRSE’s 10th anniversary, a seminar titled “Origin: Day of Values and Life Education for Chinese Culture” will be held to disseminate and share the outcomes of the four projects.

According to the “Learning to Learn 2+” initiative and Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide (Provisional Final Draft), learning about Chinese culture and related values is regarded as an important trend in Hong Kong education. Against this backdrop, these four projects were tailored to respond to future education developments. The projects also provide EdUHK students with an opportunity to excel through service learning by designing and implementing teaching plans for local primary schools. Two examples of this are ‘Maze of the Analects’ and ‘Flourishing Life through Filial Piety Activities’. Other EdUHK students have cooperated with illustrators to modernise well-known stories of ‘The Twenty-Four Paragons of Filial Piety’ to foster students’ understanding of filial piety in the Chinese tradition and hence to build their sense of belonging to Chinese culture.

Professor Lee Chi Kin John, the Centre Director of the CRSE, will deliver a speech, followed by sharing by EdUHK students and a demonstration of learning outcomes by kindergarten students of the partner schools. Teachers from the partner schools will also share teaching cases and experience. There will be an exhibition of project outcomes, including teaching plans, picture books, short videos and service learning cases, to foster and stimulate the participants’ imagination and ideas for adapting Chinese culture to the campus environment. Other details of the event are as follows:
