Engagement

Building partnerships with schools, communities and universities in Hong Kong and beyond.

Working beyond the campus

The Faculty's engagement work turns research and teaching expertise into practical support for schools, families and community organisations. Through local partnerships, regional exchange and an increasingly international outlook, staff and students apply what they learn well beyond the Tai Po campus.

Local Partnerships

Long-standing links with primary and secondary schools, NGOs and government departments bring practicum placements, professional development and applied research into everyday practice.

Regional and International Connection

Exchange agreements, joint seminars and collaborative projects with universities across Mainland China, Asia and beyond connect the Faculty to wider networks in education and human development.
