「想像與未來: 教育青年一代立足未來」分享會

此分享會將以廣東話進行 / This Fireside Chat will be conducted in Cantonese

Digitalization has been pushed to the limits in the past few years with Covid, social distancing and the work/study from home movement. From government policies and the economy's standpoint, there is no doubt that there is no stopping the continued rise of adoption and prevalence of digital solutions that is coming to our lives.

But this has also created a drastically different world for HK's young generation. On what's ahead of these students, aside from spoken language, there is increasingly a demand for every young person entering the workforce to have some sort of a coding language skill. Meanwhile, as they are increasingly immersed in the digital world even with classes being taught digially, many kids are growing up in an environment that lacks human interaction, and thus less chance for them to develop social skills. These circumstances particularly affect the average HK kid and the less privileged kids, which, if not being tackled, will just continue to widen the social gap.

Our young generation might need different education focus to help them succeed in the fast changing future. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of when the UWC movement has begun in Hong Kong, Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong is organizing a set of industry fireside chats at the Central Market for interested industry stakeholder and the public to come learn more about interesting discussions hosted by our alumni and joined by friends of the school.
