HKU Edible Spaces Ambassador Training Programme
HKU Edible Spaces Ambassador Training Programme (Feb – Apr 2022)
港大可食空間大使培訓計劃 (20222月至4)

The edible spaces on campus have been providing opportunity and inspiration for students and staff to engage in organic farming, horticulture practices, as well as interdisciplinary studies. Throughout the years, the spaces have acted as a hub to promote awareness on sustainability and wellbeing among the HKU community.
To expand the benefits of the edible spaces to a wider audience, we have been recruiting HKU students, who are passionate about gardening/farming and sustainability, to be Edible Spaces Ambassadors to assist in hosting tours and workshops.

The 3rd Edible Spaces Ambassador Training Programme is now open for application. In the training programme, experts from respective areas will share their knowledge and experience with the participants, and the participants will apply what they have learnt while designing and hosting the tours and workshops.

校園中的「可食空間」 為師生提供空間和機會參與有機耕種和園藝活動、並啟發了一些跨學科的研究項目。透過舉辦各種活動,港大可食空間成為推廣可持續發展及身心健康的校園空間。為了進一步與大眾各界分享可食空間的好處和潛力,我們招募港大學生成為「可食空間大使」,協助籌辦導賞團及工作坊,學生大使既能親身實踐綠色生活,也能為可持續發展出力,推廣都市種植對社區身心靈的裨益。
第三屆「可食空間大使培訓計劃」現正接受報名,一系列工作坊將由各領域的專家擔任導師,學員參加工作坊後將設計導賞活動,並於活動中應用所學。
