We proudly launched the first residential courses of the Master of Arts in Leading Innovative Learning Organizations (LILO) from July 12 to 17. The LILO 2021 Cohort comprises 25 participants from 11 different locations across diverse sectors in education: mainstream/local schools (9), international schools (7), experimental school (1), and educational entrepreneurship (9).
The LILO experience was kicked off with the welcoming address by Dr Darren Bryant, Head of Department and LILO Programme Designer, and the Distinguished Keynote Speech "Leading Innovation: Twists and Turns" by Professor Allan Walker, Adjunct Chair Professor and LILO Programme Advisor. Dr Hayes Tang, LILO Programme Leader, welcomed the students, delivered the Programme Induction, and shared the vision of building the LILO community as a hub of educational innovation and leadership in the Asia Pacific.
Through 6-day intensive class interactions, guest lectures and professional networking, the LILO participants had engaging, dynamic and rewarding experiences for the courses "Middle Leaders as Edupreneurs and Innovators" and "Leading Organizational Learning" taught by Dr Maxwell Ho, Dr Jiafang Lu, Dr Haiyan Qin, and Dr Darren Bryant.
The next LILO residential "Leading Innovative Communities Within and Beyond Organizations" will be conducted by Dr Daphnee Lee and Dr Trevor Lee in mid-September.
The 2022-23 admission will start in late 2021. Please stay tuned!
