Programme Overview
Are you looking for a unique opportunity to develop your leadership skills while promoting sustainability at HKU? Look no further than the HKU Sustainability Leadership Programme.
Organised by the Sustainability Unit of Estate Office, this year-long training programme is designed to train a team of HKU students to become passionate advocates for environmental protection. Through interactive training sessions and hands-on sustainability projects, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainability issues and develop essential project management and leadership skills.
During the programme, you will apply what you have learned through the training activities, and join a team of like-minded individuals to plan and execute student-initiated sustainability projects on campus. Each team will receive up to HK$1,000 to implement the project, giving you a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on your community.
The programme includes a range of exciting activities, including an Introduction and Soft Skills Training Workshop, Leave No Trace Training, Planning and Execution of Sustainability Service-Projects, and participation in sustainability education activities.
