The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) is dedicated to undertake educational outreach activities beyond campus, engaging local schools and communities through tailored lectures, workshops, and voluntary student-run schemes.  

Programmed Outreach Activities: Structured Community Engagement 

EdUHK’s Team in Community (TIC) programme, managed by the Student Affairs Office (SAO), is a flagship platform for programmed outreach, encouraging students to engage in sustained community service in local schools and neighbourhoods. TIC promotes a culture of volunteerism and citizenship, offering structured opportunities for students to participate as service leaders or organise committees. Every year, TIC facilitated ongoing service-learning projects, such as tutoring sessions and educational workshops in local schools, designed to address community needs like literacy and social inclusion. These activities, detailed on the SAO’s Community Services page, are planned and scheduled regularly, ensuring consistent impact (https://www.eduhk.hk/sao/en/info/lsl/community_services/). 

Another key programmed initiative is the Moti-verse: Space of Volpower, a student volunteering platform that promotes social care through structured community activities.  (https://www.eduhk.hk/sao/en/info/lsl/community_services/moti_verse/)

In 2025, Moti-verse organised Moti-verse School Guardians: In-school Project 2025-26 and . A series of workshops and service events held between September 2025 to November 2025,  targeting in equipping students with early experience interacting with primary school students to prepare for future placement and to guide the growth of primary school students and promote positive values.

Moti-verse also organised the Moti-verse "Glocal Hub" Series: Webinars and Workshops from September 2025 to January 2026 to enhance students' awareness on community issues and expand understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

These events, open to the public through community partnerships, connected EdUHK students with local schools and communities through educational service. 

Ad-Hoc Outreach Events: Targeted Educational Impact 

EdUHK also hosts ad-hoc outreach events to address specific community needs, delivering impactful educational experiences in local settings. 

A notable example is the One-Day Student Experiential Programme 2025 for Elders, held on 29 March 2025 as part of the EdUHK SDG Living Laboratory @ Tai-po – Community Well-being project. Organised in collaboration with the office of a Tai Po District Council member, the event welcomed over 30 elders from the district for campus tours, interactive health education workshops on physical activity, brain health and mental well-being, a hands-on STEM session using drones, and a symbolic graduation ceremony. The programme promoted lifelong learning, intergenerational exchange and healthy ageing, contributing to the project’s broader efforts that have provided cognitive screenings and health promotion activities for hundreds of local elders.

Another key initiative was the Positive Education Festival 2025, organised by the Student Affairs Office from 9 to 17 January 2025. The festival featured a Positive Education Fun Day attended by 470 students from ten primary schools, with student-led classrooms and game booths focusing on gratitude, positive emotions, values and character strengths. A public seminar also brought together educators and community stakeholders to share research and practical experiences in implementing positive education in Hong Kong schools, reinforcing EdUHK’s commitment to supporting mental well-being and character development beyond campus.

In addition, the Diversity Festival 2025 (18 February – 7 March 2025), themed “Better Than You Think – You CAN When You BELIEVE,” engaged more than 430 students, staff and community members. Organised by the Student Affairs Office’s Special Educational Needs Support Service, the festival included experiential booths that allowed participants to understand daily challenges faced by individuals with special educational needs, interactive sessions with guide dogs, creative workshops, and an educational theatre performance. These activities fostered greater respect, acceptance and appreciation of diversity within the university and the wider community. (https://www.eduhk.hk/en/events/diversity-festival-2025)

Supporting Collaborations and Future Outlook 

EdUHK’s outreach efforts are strengthened by partnerships with local organisations. The Department of Cultural and Creative Arts collaborates with schools and cultural organisations to extend arts education, as seen in initiatives like community art workshops and exhibitions (https://www.eduhk.hk/cca/en/activities/outreach/). These collaborations ensure that EdUHK’s educational resources reach diverse audiences, fostering sustainable community development.
