Description

HKUST Connect organizes service learning trips and workcamps in summer and winter breaks. Students will have the opportunities to visit orphanages and teach underprivileged children in Cambodia, visit the disabled in Croatia, organize activities for left-behind children and meet local families in rural China, refurbish village schools in Nepal and much more. These service learning trips will help you broaden your horizons, enrich your university life, and raise your awareness of what it means to be a global citizen. You can also make a difference to the community that you visit, and gain authentic cultural experience that cannot be acquired in a traditional classroom.

Upcoming Service Learning Trips (Summer 2019-20)
Description

Update on 11 March 2020:
On 6 Mar 2020, the HKSAR Government Department of Health issued advice for the public to consider delaying all non-essential travel outside of Hong Kong. In response to the rapidly evolving global health situation surrounding COVID-19 and holding the health, safety and best interests of our students as our highest priority, the University decided to suspend all outbound student activities to take place outside of Hong Kong during the Summer Term. Hence, all Service Learning Trips organized / coordinated by HKUST Connect this Summer Term will be suspended. If you have any questions, please contact us.

In the coming summer, HKUST Connect has arranged for you service learning trips to
- Cambodia
- Croatia
- Indonesia
- U.S.A.
