Stanley Ho East Asia College Students Participate in Service-Learning Programmes in Sichuan and Jiangxi

2024-12-31T00:07:27+08:00

為提升學生對貢獻國家及服務社會的責任感與能力，以及增加對國家發展的認識，澳門大學何鴻燊東亞書院於本學年暑期，於四川省汶川縣和江西省修水縣開展了兩項服務學習計劃。

2024年5月23日至6月4日，副院長溫慧珊博士及書院導師常藝馨老師帶領14名同學，在當地政府和民間組織的支持下，赴四川省汶川縣進行志願服務及文化交流，當中包括到八一小學及水磨中學進行義教；探訪較貧困的老人及兒童；為老人及兒童舉辦興趣班及大型活動；與村民同吃同勞動，體驗農事工作，為村發展建言獻策；參觀映秀地震遺址等。十三天在四川的行程，讓學生參與社會服務的同時，亦親身感受到國家在脫貧攻堅工作上的豐碩果實。

另一項服務則響應了澳門特區政府參與國家的鄉村振興計劃。書院導師陳宇威博士於5月23日至30日期間，帶領13名同學到江西省修水縣，進行為期八天的義教及愛國教育，包括到上奉鎮山背小學開展愛心助學及義教活動，教授科學、地理、生命教育及體育等科目；書院師生亦探訪了何市鎮敬老院，為長者表演及簡介澳門文化。此外，師生們一行亦參觀了秋收起義紀念館、山背文化展示館及雙井黃庭堅文旅小鎮，提升學生對國家與中華民族的認識及情懷。

參與兩項服務的同學早於三月已開展相關的籌備工作，經過兩個多月的預備與實踐，同學將專業知識和技能學以致用，並在過程中不斷打磨活動內容，努力為汶川縣及修水縣的社群提供優質的社會服務。

何鴻燊東亞書院自2013年起開始出外進行服務學習計劃，至今已超過十年。院長姚偉彬教授一直大力推動學生參與服務學習，是希望「同學們透過系統的籌劃和準備，在目的地服務社區不同的群體，促進社會與公民責任，發展領導與團隊協作能力，在真實生活情景下反思學習，培養多元價值觀，養成樂觀積極與關愛社會的性格」。

Stanley Ho East Asia College of the University of Macau have successfully completed two service-learning programmes respectively in Sichuan and Jiangxi during the summer of 2023/2024. The programmes have enriched strengthened students’ sense of responsibility and ability to contribute to the country and serve the society, as well as their understanding of the national development.

From 23rd May to 4th June, 2024, a team of 14 students, led by Associate Master Dr. Sancia Wan and Resident Fellow Ms. Elaine Chang, went to Wenchuan, Sichuan for volunteer services and cultural exchanges with the support of local government and non-governmental organisations. They conducted voluntary teaching at Bayi Primary School and Shuimo Middle School; visited elderly and children in remote villages; organised interest classes and large-scale activities for the elderly and children; lived and worked together with villagers; experienced farm work; shared views about village development after field study; visited Yingxiu Earthquake Site, and more. During the thirteen-day journey in Sichuan, students not only participated in community services, but also witnessed the successes accomplished by the nation’s poverty alleviation work.

Another programme responds to the Macao SAR government’s participation in the country’s rural revitalisation plan. Resident Fellow Dr. Saul Chan led 13 students to Xiushui, Jiangxi from 23rd to 30th May for voluntary teaching and patriotic education. They taught science, geography, life education, physical education and other subjects, as well as organised various out-of-classroom activities, at Shanbei Primary School in Shangfeng Town. The delegation also visited a nursing home to perform singing and introduce Macau culture to the elderly. In addition, they visited Qiushou Uprising Xiushui Memorial Hall, Shanbei Cultural Exhibition Hall, and Hometown of Huang Tingjian to enhance students’ understanding and feelings about the country.

Both delegations started preparation work as early as March. After more than two months’ preparation and practice, the students applied their knowledge and skills, while continued to polish the content of the activities during the process, striving to contribute to the Wenchuan and Xiushui communities to provide high-quality volunteer services.

SHEAC started its outbound service-learning programmes in 2013, and has continued for more than ten years. College Master Professor Iu Vai Pan has vigorously encouraged students to participate in service-learning. He hopes that, “through systematic planning and preparation, students can serve different community groups at the destination, uphold social and civic responsibilities, nurture leadership and teamwork skills, reflect on learning in real life situations, cultivate diverse values, and develop an optimistic and caring character.”
