Abstract | "Partnering with Students in Climate Education: HKU Climate Ambassador" and "Climate Ambassadors: Desert Service-learning Trip in Mainland China," are the two projects supported by HKU Teaching Development Grant and the Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant 2022-25, respectively. These programs are centered around the "Students as Partners" approach, with undergraduate students being the primary beneficiaries. In the HKU Climate Ambassador program, students will be trained as Climate Ambassadors, guided by mentors who are students and alumni of the Master of Science in Environmental Management. Emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of climate-related initiatives, we actively encourage collaboration between students from various faculties to co-create innovative solutions. The program begins with comprehensive training sessions designed to equip students with essential knowledge and skills. After the training, students will have the opportunity to develop their own projects focused on climate-related initiatives, aiming to make a meaningful impact on broader communities. To showcase the experiences and achievements of our students, we will be hosting a student-led conference in June 2024. Following the conference, selected Climate Ambassadors and mentors will have the unique opportunity to participate in a desert service-learning trip in mainland China in July 2024. The expected outcomes will include the development of a climate education program which echoes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) , including Targets 4.7 Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship, 12.8 Promote Universal Understanding of Sustainable Lifestyles, and 13.3 Build Knowledge and Capacity to Meet Climate Change, a teacher-student partnership model under environmental sustainability contexts and higher students’ ownership. Students would also gain better understanding of climate-related initiatives and create impact within and beyond HKU communities. These projects will demonstrate “Students as Partners” at multiple levels. |
