Broaden knowledge from the little things in life

Even though our work and lives are getting back to normal as the COVID situation appears to be improving, we still need to deal with the “new normal” and the opportunities and challenges it offers. Almost every industry and much of our daily lives have been completely changed, we therefore need to be able to adapt quickly. Other than equipping ourselves with new skills, it is far more important to keep our heads up and adjust to how we feel about life overall. Thinking from different perspectives can generate creative ideas, bring new joy to life, and open the gate to a treasure-trove of knowledge.

For example, it turns out that the water we drink every day is a kind of allergen; tulips once hit Europe with a huge economic bubble few centuries ago; emojis in our text messages are secretly becoming the new global language; and as technology develops, the skyscrapers we work or live in can now be built by 3D-printing!

New knowledge is everywhere. And a great place to get it is at HKU SPACE. Acquire the knowledge, skills and know-how you need to embrace life again and flourish in our new normal. The School offers nearly 1,900 Continuing Education Fund (CEF) reimbursable courses, which cover 60 different areas of interest.

以小見大 擴建知識寶庫

疫情緩和，工作與生活逐步恢復正常，迎面而來的是種種新常態、新機遇，無論是各行各業或日常生活模式，均已起了徹頭徹尾的變化。要適應轉變，除了積極裝備自己之外，要訣在於轉換心境。凡事以另類視角看待，創新的想法往往能為平平無奇的生活帶來樂趣，更開啟通往知識寶庫的大門。

就如我們每天飲用的清水，誰知道原來亦是致敏源的一種；一朵平平無奇的鬱金香，竟曾在數百年前的歐洲掀起一波狂熱泡沫經濟；輕滑手機螢幕，emoji充斥每段訊息，正悄悄取代文字成為世界語言；我們所身處的萬丈高樓，隨著科技發展瞬間就能3D打印出來……
