GECC3230 Service-Learning Programme

Upper-Year General Education Elective | 3 Units

Every year, we collaborate with local NGOs and social service units. Four students, coming from different departments, are grouped according to their interests in different service targets. They serve not less than 80 hours in the community during summertime.
In the pre-service stage (April-May), with guidance by the course instructor, the group conducts agency visit and writes a service proposal. During the service stage (June-August), the course instructor and organization worker provide supervision and advice to students. In the post-service period (September), students submit individual and group reports, and oral presentation are required.
The service emphasizes the application of academic knowledge and skills as well as the reflection of self and social issues.
