香港教育大學 2023-2024 年報 9 President’s Overview 校長的話 It is also essential that graduates are cognisant of their own physical and mental wellbeing and that of others. EdUHK promotes physical education at all levels, from community sport to elite athletes. This year we organised competitions and courses for children with special educational needs and for the elderly, such as the Light Volleyball for Older Adults competitions in Hong Kong SAR, Shenzhen and Nanchang. We also opened up dual pathways to a wider range of elite athletes so that they may pursue their studies while furthering their sporting careers. Our elite athlete students enjoyed success at the 2023 Asian Games and Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, as well as the Paris 2024 Olympics. EdUHK also nurtures social skills, including volunteering schemes, such as the Student-led Community Service Project, which encourages students to design and conduct self-initiated projects to develop leadership capacity and project management capability while contributing to the community. Additionally, our scholars investigate social issues, such as a study on the positive effect mindfulness intervention and behavioural activation had on elderly people living alone during the COVID-19 pandemic. To further develop aesthetics education, the University has established the Centre for Classical Chinese Education and the Xiqu and Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre. In terms of creative and cultural arts, four of our students won the Merit Award in the Disney Imaginations Hong Kong Design Competition 2024, and a project to develop personalised and cost-effective music learning solutions for students by using AI, won a Gold Award in the 2024 Hong Kong Techathon+ competition. Celebration and thanks EdUHK has experienced a year of significant achievement and celebration. I thank our colleagues, students, and the EdUHK family for their crucial contributions. Together, we can aspire to even greater accomplishments beyond our 30th anniversary, reaching new heights for the benefit of the EdUHK community, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and our country.
