HSUHK Innovation Project Competition 2023 – Workshop Series #2: Knowledge Hub: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) collaborated with The Institute for Youth Sustainability Leadership (IYSL) to organise an informative and interactive workshop – Knowledge Hub: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as part of the skill-based workshop series of The HSUHK Innovation Project Competition 2023 on 23 February. The workshop aimed to educate and empower students on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, providing them with a platform to develop innovative solutions to global challenges. The workshop empowered students to develop innovative solutions to global challenges and showcased the potential of young minds to address the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The workshop began with an introduction to the SDGs, followed by interactive sessions that emphasised the importance of each goal and their interconnectedness. Participants were divided into teams and assigned specific goals to work on. The teams then brainstormed ideas and developed innovative solutions to problems related to their assigned SDG. The interactive nature of the workshop fostered peer-to-peer collaboration and enabled students to engage in practical actions and learn about best practices.

Moreover, the participants showcased their solutions and ideas through group presentations that demonstrated their understanding of the SDGs and showcased their creativity. The workshop was a huge success, and the students left with a better understanding of the SDGs and the knowledge and skills to tackle global challenges. One of the participants expressed their satisfaction with the workshop, stating, “The interactive nature of the workshop made it enjoyable and informative. I feel more equipped to participate in the innovation competition and excited to implement the ideas we developed.”

教與學發展中心(CTL)與青年可持續發展領袖研習所(IYSL)在2月23日合辦了一個富資訊性和互動的工作坊 – 「知識中心:可持續發展目標(SDGs)」。本活動是「香港恒生大學創新計劃比賽」工作坊系列的第二個工作坊,旨在教育學生認識由聯合國制定的17個可持續發展目標,同時為他們提供一個開發創新方案的平台。是次工作坊展示了年輕人應對全球挑戰的潛力,備相關的知識和技能,務求他們在世界上產生正面影響。

工作坊首先逐一介紹了可持續發展目標的定義和應用,然後體過互動環節,參加者們更深入體會到每個目標的重要性和相聯性。接著,他們被劃分為小組,並分配特定的可持續發展目標進行活動。小組需針對所分配的可持續發展目標,思考和討論相關的問題和解決方案。工作坊的互動體驗,促進了參加者之間的合作,同時有效地讓他們將所學習到的知識,得以實踐和應用。

其後,參加者們展示了小組討論成果,分享他們對可持續發展目標的理解和創新想法。工作坊成功地為學生們帶來深入的可持續發展目標的理解和知識,讓他們得以裝備自己,應對全球正面對的挑戰。參與者對工作坊均感到十分滿意:「工作坊的互動既有趣,又可讓我們獲得豐富知識。我更有信心參與創新計劃比賽,亦急不及待將所學到的知識應用當中!」
