Highlights

This course focuses on leisure theories, leisure in contemporary society, participation and the lifecycle including ageing and leisure. It covers a broad overview of leisure, as well as the knowledge and skill to be able to utilize resources to encourage in oneself, and others, satisfying leisure experiences.

With increasing challenges on the health and wellbeing of individuals in society through increasing sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles; more depression and mental health issues; and, increasing stress levels, individuals’ and communities’ quality of life is increasingly put at risk. Within the community in Hong Kong there are ample opportunities, resources and programmes, that encourage participation in recreation activities, but to create meaningful leisure experiences involves more than just participation in leisure.
