EAGLE the Explorers

Building on the knowledge learnt from “EAGLE The Seekers” workshops and activities, “EAGLE the Explorers” offers an advanced practice for a dedicated small student group by broadening their horizons beyond Hong Kong.

Focusing on the theme of “Sustainable Cities and Communities” outlined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the highlight is to embark on a 5 to 7-day trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Objectives

“EAGLE the Explorers” brings a dedicated small group of students to Chiang Mai, Thailand to visit and learn about the topic of “Sustainable Cities and Communities”. The offshore trip serves as a platform for students to reflect on how one, as a global citizen, can contribute to the world betterment leveraging on their own unique interests, skills and strengths.

3 thematic pre-trip workshops are included to equip students with all essential knowledge required for the transformative journey.

Suitable for those looking for an inspiring excursion outside of Hong Kong, and interested in enhancing their leadership development, particularly in the area of sustainability and community development.
