Service Learning Trips
HKUST Connect organizes service learning trips and workcamps during summer and winter breaks. These trips provide students with valuable opportunities to engage in meaningful activities and make a positive impact on communities in need.
Activities include visiting orphanages and teaching underprivileged children in Cambodia, organizing activities for left-behind children and interacting with local families in rural China, and refurbishing village schools in Nepal, among others.
By participating in these service learning trips, you will not only expand their horizons but also enrich your university experience. These trips offer an authentic cultural experience that goes beyond what can be acquired in a traditional classroom setting, fostering a deeper understanding of global citizenship.
HKUST Connect's service learning trips and workcamps serve as a unique platform for students to learn, serve, and grow as they make meaningful impact on the lives of others.
