From 17th – 20th April 2025, a group of 46 students from HPE, led by Mr. CHAN Ching Yat, Roy, participated in a four-day experiential learning trip to the Greater Bay Area. This initiative was part of the Community Service Learning project and aimed to enhance students’ understanding of physical education practices in mainland China while promoting professional development and cross-cultural understanding.

The visit began at Shenzhen University, where approximately 100 undergraduates took part in a practical teaching exchange including presentations on physical education policies and a tour of the university’s sports facilities. Following this, students worked with local middle school students at Princeton Skylake International School, conducting light volleyball sessions that focused on experiential teaching and cooperative learning.

On April 19th, the group volunteered at a community event with around 120 participants, promoting health and sports among youth. Students assisted with planning, registration, reception, group organization, teaching, officiating, and maintaining order. Their management of logistical responsibilities was noted by local educators. The trip concluded with group debriefing sessions for students to reflect on their experiences and prepare for their final reports.
  
This experience contributed to refining students’ instructional skills and strengthening cultural connections between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, aligning with the project’s objectives of fostering national identity and belonging.
