The project team led by Prof. Daniel T.L. Shek, PolyU’s Associate Vice President (Undergraduate Programme), Li & Fung Professor in Service Leadership Education, and Chair Professor of Applied Social Sciences at the Department of Applied Social Sciences received the Gold Award in the Nurturing Wellbeing & Purpose category at QS Reimagine Education 2021.
The award-winning project “Leadership and Intrapersonal Development Programme” builds up important positive attributes and competencies among university students, enabling them to pursue continual self-improvement, enhance their wellbeing, and contribute to society, through a suite of four subjects, namely Tomorrow’s Leaders, Service Leadership, Promotion of Children and Adolescent Development, and Service Leadership through Serving Children and Families with Special Needs, with both formal and informal learning processes.
Co-organised by QS and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the Reimagine Education Awards are regarded as the “Oscars” of education, rewarding innovative approaches that enhance students’ learning outcomes and employability.
