Chao Kuang Piu College (CKPC) completed the opening reports of “Team Project Challenge” in late November. This was part of CKPC’s Mentorship Program, in which year-1 students formed interdisciplinary groups of 3 to 5 people to work on topics related to Macau or contemporary interests. Under the guidance of faculty mentors, the groups searched for background materials, established research goals, developed plans, and completed the reports.

The purpose of this activity was to motivate students through teamwork and improve their skills on subject identification, academic research, team cooperation, and oral presentation.

From the 36 opening reports, six teams were selected as the finalists to compete at the final presentation in March next year. Their topics are listed below.

【Venus】Blood donation at UM: current situation and improvement strategies

【Jupiter】Fusion of food culture

【Mercury】Tracing the Macanese history and culture via Macanese cuisine

【Mars】How does café culture in Macau affect modern life?

【Saturn】A survey on Macau university students’ awareness of preventing frauds

【Earth】Macau people’s views on local culture

Note: CKPC students are divided into six Planet Tribes based on their block/floor areas.

On November 4-5 and 18-19, Chao Kuang Piu College Leadership Adventure Team conducted Sports Climbing Course (Level 2). After 30 hours of training, students from the Rock Climbing Program successfully passed the examination and obtained the course certificate.

The Level 2 Sport Climbing course was based on Level 1 Sport Climbing, with the addition of Lead Climbing techniques, the Top-rope System, rappelling techniques and related equipment. “Every thing must be done seriously no matter big or small” – the 30 hours course is a great challenge to students’ physical and mental ability, not only is it more physically demanding, but also need to stay calm and do every step of the operation rigorously, this is also the spirit of the whole course. In addition, the course also included the practical application of techniques in the outdoors, which enabled the students to have a deeper understanding of the flexible use of climbing techniques.

The course was not only a physical and mental challenge, but also an important opportunity to learn and experience educational techniques. At the end of the course, students sat together and guided each other to reflect on rock climbing and its application in life, including: facing and overcoming psychological stress, emotion management, communication and coordination, among other important topics. Through this activity, Chao Kuang Piu College hopes to enhance the service leadership and healthy living skills of the students, and to expand the College’s experience education to the outdoor  level.

Chao Kuang Piu College’s Down Syndrome Buddy Group was established in 2020. Every semester, the group holds a series of cooperative activities with the Macau Down Syndrome Association, with the aim of bringing warmth and companionship to the families with children born with Down syndrome. This semester, the volunteers of the group organized three activities.

In September, the volunteers taught the children and their parents to make snowflake crisps and chocolate cookies, let them experience and learn the steps of making desserts, and finally pack the baked products. The children had a chance to work hands-on and learn to be patient, and all participants experienced the fun of baking together. During the 8^th Vegetarian Food Festival, the Association sold the finished products made by the children and the volunteers. The snowflake crisps was a big hit with both the public and the children’s parents.

In October, the volunteers brought interesting, fun and interactive board games to the Association. The games included Body Twister, Card Flip, Stick Stack, etc. The volunteers and the children played together. After each game, the volunteers would invite the children to look at some pictures and tell stories and share their feelings. Through sharing, the children’s ability of expression was cultivated and the volunteers got to know them better. They all had fun.

For the last interaction in this semester in November, the volunteers brought clay materials from the College brand “Nebula Studio” and coffee grounds from “Infinite Coffee”. Under the guidance of the volunteers, the children mixed the clay and coffee grounds, then pinched them into their favorite patterns or shapes, painted them with colors, and finally made them into decorative magnets. This activity not only helped develop the children’s fine motor skills, but also increased everyone’s interest in art creation.

CKPC’s Down Syndrome Buddy Group is looking forward to future cooperation with the Association. Volunteers have already started planning and preparing for next semester’s activities and look forward to sharing more new ideas and interesting activities with the children. The Group also looks forward to cooperation with other College brands in working for the better well-being of the children from the Association.

To promote communication and exchange of ideas among students, including international and exchange students, CKPC holds a series of World Café sessions.  The World Café is a group activity designed to create a friendly and welcoming environment to connect multiple ideas and perspectives on a topic. The table host engages participants in several rounds of conversation, collecting and sharing their inputs as “Graphic Recording” along the way. Participants also exchange ideas during the short tea breaks, which keep the flow of discussion and sharing throughout.

In the third session of this semester, students from different cultural backgrounds took part in several rounds of stimulating conversations on social media and their influence on the world’s youngsters.  The participants used Tik Tok (which is the international version of the Chinese App Douyin) as the primary example for the conversations. 

Most students used Tik Tok/Douyin for viewing short videos as a form of entertainment and for sharing videos and feelings with friends.  They typically used it for short periods of time, ranging from half an hour per day to a couple times per week.  Most have used it for 4 to 6 years.  They also kept their identity anonymous via aliases in such social medium platforms.

As to why such social media became so successful, students suggested the following:

• The videos were short compared to Youtube or Bilibili, making it easier to scroll through large number of contents
• The software kept feeding users with stimulating videos so they became kind of addictive to it
• Based on a user’s usage profile, the software used certain AI techniques to suggest large number of interesting videos
• Some users produced many popular videos and earned money that way

The students discussed the impacts of such social media.  On the positive side,

• It was an effective way to disseminate information to many people. For example, users have used them to help find lost children
• Users might raise awareness on social issues or even influence people’s views.
• There were educational contents, allowing users to learn at their leisure time

On the negative side:

• Often it was a waste of time scrolling through many entertainment videos
• One could not tell whether the information was fake. Furthermore, certain inappropriate contents might mess up teenager’s minds.
• Strangers could send messages to you, which might lead to fraud

Students also suggested that social media platforms should bear certain social responsibilities.  For example, they should block inappropriate contents, performed fact checking when reported by users, and reminded users to take a break after certain usage time.  They didn’t agree to banning of TikTok by certain countries because they thought that those countries should educate their people instead of directly banning it. Besides, they disagreed to real-name system for using it since they believed users can hide their identity and other private information.

During the World Café session, the participants shared their ideas and feelings through engaging conversations.  At the final presentation, students from each table used the “Graphic Recording” to report on their findings.  They all found the activity very stimulating and rewarding.

十一月金秋時節，澳門大學曹光彪書院舉辦了一場穿越時空的研習之旅，包括探索太空奧秘、歷史浪潮與文化底蘊。

活動當天早上，研習團首先到了珠海太空中心。這裡是赫赫有名的中國國際航空航天博覽會所在地，亦是中國最大規模的航展每兩年舉辦一次的場地。2023年初，珠海太空中心在航展館正式開幕，以“夢想有多大、空間有多大”為主題，展示中國航空、航天、國防等內容，更有實物大小的空間站展示艙。這裡不僅是航太科普基地，也是科技與夢想的交匯點。

午後，研習團到了新會宋元崖門海戰文化區，這裡曾見證宋元海軍決戰和宋朝最終滅亡。在崖門，院生彷彿置身於南宋的金戈鐵馬，與南宋三大忠臣（文天祥，陸秀夫，張世傑）一起抗擊外敵，守護河山。「人生自古誰無死，留取丹心照汗青」那份慷慨就義，視死如歸的氣概，依然蕩氣迴腸。

傍晚，院生們漫步在珠海斗門。斗門接霞莊為宋朝皇室後裔所建，此地環境幽靜，青山綠水讓人心曠神怡。斗門老街則有多棟融合中西建築風格的騎樓，每一角落都滲透著濃厚的歷史感。院生一邊品嚐地方特色小吃（例如鴨扎包、蝦米糕、糯米糍等），一邊探索充滿生活氣息的小店，感受著嶺南水鄉韻味和廣府風情。

這次研習，培養了院生的歷史文化修養，增進了他們的科技知識和家國情懷。院生們也深刻感受到歷史與當下的交錯，文化與科技的融合。

部分院生研習後的感言：

• “人類現今的科技水準日新月異，卻也只是探尋了太空的冰山一角，著名的旅行者一號帶著記錄著人類文明的鍍金唱片駛向茫茫星河。 已知的越多，就會發現自己越渺小，卻也越激勵人類在浩瀚歷史中不斷前進，不斷探索。”
• “珠海太空中心激起我對茫茫宇宙的好奇，作為一名科學院的學生，這樣一種無畏探索的精神是永遠不能割捨的“
• “我覺得震撼的地方是可以沉浸式地走進我們國家「天宮」太空站T型1:1展示艙，看到了太空人的居住和工作環境，感受到中國航太事業的強大”
• “站在一艘艘火箭模型旁，我彷彿能聽到火箭發射震天的隆隆聲，感受到中國人探索宇宙的勇氣與渴望。 太空服的沉重、月球車的精密、航太艙的壯觀，每一樣展品都讓我對科研人員的智慧肅然起敬”
• “中國太空事業的快速發展和日益增長的實力讓我為祖國感到驕傲，同時也讓我對中國太空文化的未來發展充滿了信心”
• “站在歷史的風口，我彷彿能看到大宋將士的忠義、戰船的破浪、火藥的硝煙，那些勇敢的靈魂似乎在微風中輕輕低語，講述著不屈的精神”
• “斗門老街真的是一個充滿歷史韻味和文化底蘊的地方，這裏不但讓我對中國傳統文化和歷史再感興趣，還能體驗一下這裡獨特的地域和風情”
• “從太空、歷史再到文化，了解了不同方面的知識，開拓了眼界。我認為這次活動非常有意義，希望書院以後能多舉辦類似的活動”
• “這次活動讓我深刻地意識到旅行的重要性，它不僅可以幫助我們開拓視野，還能夠激發我們對世界的好奇心和求知欲。我希望未來有更多類似的機會，繼續探索世界的奧秘，豐富自己的人生經歷”
• “用腳步去測量世界，用眼睛記錄風景。宇宙的深邃、歷史的洪荒、村落的幽僻，每一處都值得躬身探索、親臨體驗！”
• “回到澳門，心思久久不能平靜，很感謝CKPC的大家，讓我有機會參與其中，這是一場極有意義的活動，是一場邊看邊學的旅行，這次的收穫，已筆墨堪堪數言不能知，需寓於生活，方顯真諦”

澳門大學曹光彪書院領袖生於2023年11月22日舉辦了一場富有意義的團建活動，共有25名領袖生參與其中。這次活動旨在總結上學期的領袖生活動並加強團隊凝聚力。今年的領袖生團隊展現出極大的活力，積極地為書院的學生服務和提供支援。特別表揚了四位領袖生李日升同學、程丹瑩同學、吳慧婷同學和陳子健同學，他們在書院的貢獻得到了高度的肯定。

此次活動特別邀請了澳門食物及環境健康學會創會會長柯學明（Ruby），帶來了一個名為”SDGs Game 2030″的桌遊。「2030永續發展目標」（Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs）是聯合國於2015年宣布，當中包含17項核心目標，其中又涵蓋了169項細項目標、230項指標，指引全球共同努力、邁向永續。這款桌遊在2016年由日本推出，可以容納5至50人同時參與，通過各種經濟、推廣和消費活動的模擬，展示了2030年可能的世界樣貌。

在Ruby介紹完SDGs和遊戲規則後，各組立即開始進行遊戲。每個組別都有自己的策略和玩法，有些選擇扮演銀行家，通過投資他人的專案來獲取所需資源；而其他組別則在完成一個專案後，用金錢換取時間，以實現個人目標。整個遊戲場面熱鬧非凡，充滿了討論和交涉的聲音。可以看到一些組別有計劃地達成個人目標，而另一些組別則面臨資源短缺和尋找機會的困境。

上半場結束，主持人進行了一次小結，讓每個組別分享他們在遊戲中的策略和體會。許多參與者表示，在遊戲中他們意識到了可持續發展目標的重要性，並開始思考自己在現實生活中如何能夠為實現這些目標做出貢獻。他們討論了如何減少浪費、促進清潔能源使用、改善教育和健康等議題。在下半場，Ruby提出了一些挑戰，讓參與者在遊戲中面對更多現實生活中可能出現的困難和挑戰，例如自然災害、經濟衰退等。這些挑戰使他們更加意識到可持續發展的重要性，並激發了他們尋找解決方案的創造力和合作精神。整個活動過程中，參與者通過遊戲體驗到了團隊合作的重要性，他們必須相互合作、溝通和協調才能夠實現共同的目標。在遊戲結束後，大家進行了一次大總結和反思，分享了他們從這次活動中學到的經驗和教訓。

澳門大學曹光彪領袖生期末團建-SDGs Game 2030活動的成功舉辦不僅加強了領袖生之間的凝聚力和合作能力，也提高了他們對可持續發展目標的認識和理解。這次活動為他們提供了一個實際操作和體驗的平台，使他們能夠在未來的領導角色中更好地應對全球可持續發展的挑戰。

On November 18, 2023, as final exams were approaching, students took part in an exciting high aerial ropes experience at the Hac Sa Youth Activity Center to challenge themselves and relax. The activity included rock climbing and giant’s ladder, etc. Students demonstrated their courage and team spirit. This activity provided a unique opportunity for the students to relax under pressure, to grow and learn, and to strengthen the friendship and interaction. Besides, it also fosters a healthy lifestyle among them.

Apart from organizing various sports activities, CKPC has also been listening to the needs and aspirations of the students, and continues to organize various activities around the 7 learning competencies for the students to explore their personal interests, as well as facilitating them to achieve personal growth through different kinds of activities.
