To cultivate an entrepreneurial and innovative spirit among students, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) held a two-day ‘EdUHK 30th Anniversary Student Fair’ on 24 and 25 February.
Jointly organised by the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Education (CEIE) under the Academy for Applied Policy Studies and Education Futures and Library of EdUHK, the Fair was held at D2 Place ONE, Lai Chi Kok. It featured over 70 stalls run by EdUHK students and alumni, as well as students and teachers of primary and secondary schools. Among the array of items on offer were ceramic products, handmade ornaments and jewellery, eco-friendly products, and handicrafts designed exclusively by young artists with special educational needs.
In addition, EdUHK students, alumni, as well as primary and secondary students were invited to perform live music to showcase their talent. The Student Fair also invited EdUHK alumni and artists, Ms Tang Siu Hau and Mr Hayson Kwok, to perform and share their entrepreneurial journeys with participants, while fostering connections across different educational levels through music.
Meanwhile, the fair also enabled them to practise corporate social responsibility by donating 10% of their total net profit to a charitable organisation of their choice.
EdUHK President Professor John Lee Chi-Kin said, “This event received support from participants from different profiles whose innovation and creativity are much admired. EdUHK will continue to cultivate professional talent through diverse disciplinary training.”
