SUMMARY:Hosting Professor Melody Ding: A Week of International Exchange at HPE
DESCRIPTION:From 5 to 7 May\, the Department of Health and Physical Education (HPE) was delighted to host Professor Melody Ding from the University of Sydney. As a Professor of Public Health and Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Physical Activity and Health\, Professor Ding brought a wealth of expertise to our department\, helping us further our goal of building stronger international research ties. \n\n\n\nThe visit kicked off with Professor Ding joining our Departmental Research and Development Committee (DRDC) meeting. It was a productive session where our committee members could talk directly with her about our current initiatives. Having her international perspective was incredibly helpful as we look for new ways to shape the department’s research direction. Professor Ding led two engaging sessions that challenged us to look at our work from new angles: \n\n\n\n\n5 May: “It is more than what you think: why Physical Activity Promotion Needs Rebranding”\n\n\n\n6 May: “Active Research vs Inactive Population: Navigating Physical Activity Research in a Complex World”\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRather than just presenting data\, Professor Ding shared her own reflections on her journey as a researcher. These candid insights gave our staff and students a more personal look at the challenges of public health and inspired us to think creatively about tackling physical inactivity. \n\n\n\nOutside of the lecture hall\, Professor Ding spent time with our team during executive luncheons\, where the conversation continued in a more relaxed setting. The visit wrapped up on 7 May with a focused consultation session. Our academic staff discuss multi-disciplinary research\, collaborations etc. with Professor Ding. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to Professor Ding for such a rewarding visit and look forward to the collaborations that will grow from this visit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Melody Ding (4th from the right) joined the DRDC meeting to exchange experience with members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Melody Ding delivered 2 seminars for HPE and EdUHK Staff on 5 May and 6 May respectively

SUMMARY:Visiting PhD Student from the University of Jyväskylä Shares Innovative PE Teaching Approach with EdUHK Students
DESCRIPTION:On 9 September 2026\, the Department of Health and Physical Education (HPE) welcomed Ms Alicia Lucendo Noriega\, avisiting PhD student from the University of Jyväskylä\, Finland\, to a Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) class at EdUHK. \n\n\n\nAlicia’s visit marked a meaningful continuation of the academic exchange established during HPE’s international visit to the University of Jyväskylä in August 2024 (https://flassnews.eduhk.hk/newsletter_article/SUMMER_2024_ISSUE_10/Cross-Cultural%20Collaboration%20between%20JYU%20and%20EdUHK). Building on this collaborative relationship\, she shared insights from her doctoral research project\, MUSPRO (Music\, Sports\, and Prosocial Behaviour\, https://www.jyu.fi/en/projects/muspro-music-and-sports)\, which explores the connections between music\, movement\, and social development. \n\n\n\nDuring the visit\, Alicia led an engaging 40-minute practical session intergrating sound\, music\, rhythm\, and movement. Through a carefully structured lesson\, Year 3 BEd(PE) students experienced how music-based activities can be incorporated into physical education to support learning and personal development. The session highlighted dimensions of physical education that extend beyond psychomotor development. Students took part in activities that encouraged communication\, imagination\, emotional awareness\, and collaboration\, while also experiencing moments of calm and reflection through movement. The innovative teaching approach provided students with a fresh perspective on how physical education can contribute to holistic learning and well-being. \n\n\n\nHPE remains committed to fostering international academic exchange and warmly welcomes scholars and researchers from around the world to share their expertise with staff and students. Such collaborations enrich learning experiences\, strengthen global partnerships\, and inspire new ideas in teaching\, research\, and professional practice. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we continue to connect\, collaborate\, and learn across cultures and disciplines.”
