Non-credit Bearing General Education Programmes for the First Semester, 2024 – 2025
This academic year, CEDARS-GE would like to provide HKU students with opportunities to engage in these meaningful dialogues. We have curated a variety of non-credit bearing programmes that offer diverse out-of-classroom experiences in exploring different topics – We Are The WorldF:A:C:E: (Fascinating Arts and Cultural Experiences), Green Living and Sustainability and Whole Person Development.
 
Through these programmes, we wish to inspire you to actively participate in dialogues - with yourself, with others, and with your unique experiences. By engaging in these enriching conversations, you can gain deeper self-understanding, broaden your perspectives, and elevate your journey of personal development.
 
We invite all HKU students to take part in these programmes and join us in these transformative dialogues.

Enrolment
starts on 10 Sep (Tue)
