To commemorate the momentous occasion of HKU SPACE Alumni's 20th Anniversary, the School, in collaboration with the Alumni and various subject alumni groups, has orchestrated a lineup of events in 2024 to mark a new milestone in the Alumni's history.
On 28 February, Dr Rosa Kwok, Honorary Researcher of the Institute of Education at University College London, took the stage to host a parenting talk, equipping parents with insights on fostering resilience and action-oriented behaviour in their children, thereby cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship. Dr Kwok offered practical guidance, emphasising the importance of dedicating time to activities that capture their children's interests. She also encouraged parents to facilitate healthy emotional development by assisting their children in effectively identifying and expressing emotions. She also advised parents to guide their children towards meaningful pursuits while nurturing their intrinsic motivation and self-directed behaviours. The talk incorporated interactive elements, creating an engaging atmosphere that resonated with both the on-site and online audience, resulting in an enjoyable experience for all.
Dr Cheung Kwan-sheung has been teaching at HKU SPACE for 25 years. Throughout this time, he has conducted research on the theories and practices of maintaining a long and healthy life as outlined in the Huangdi Neijing, and applied them to his clinical Chinese Medicine practice. By following these methods, many patients with weakened constitutions or chronic illnesses have experienced positive effects on their longevity through consistent nurturing. In his talk on The Secrets of Anti-Aging Revealed in the Huangdi Neijing on 22 March, Dr Cheung distilled his research findings into seven key points, serving as valuable references for participants seeking guidance on maintaining and prolonging life.
In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, HKU SPACE Gem & Jewellery Alumni Association (GJAA) joint forces with Wine Alumni to host a captivating Jewellery x Champagne Appreciation event on the evening of 27 March. Ms Millie Ho, Honorary Advisor of GJAA, along with Mr Noel Lo, Founding Chairman of GJAA, shared their expertise on the art and techniques of appreciating coloured diamonds. Ms Susanna Poon, HKU SPACE Certificated WSET Wine Educator and President of HKU SPACE Wine Alumni Association, guided the attendees through the distinguishing features and grades of five Champagne varieties. The tasting provided an extraordinary experience during the elegant evening and will serve as a delightful way to elevate the lifestyles of the alumni.
These three talks attract a diverse range of participants, with over 600 attendees and a total of nearly 4,000 online views.
