Service-Learning @HKBU
The Centre for Innovative Service-Learning (CISL) at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) was established with the vision to be a key player in the development of whole-person education. It serves as an eco-system for innovative learning and social good through service-learning and innovation and entrepreneurial learning.
Service-Learning integrates academic study with meaningful community service, enabling students to apply their knowledge and skills to address real-world challenges. Through credit-bearing courses and partnerships with local and global communities, students gain first-hand experience tackling social issues, while developing self-awareness, professional skills, and social responsibility. By learning through service and reflection, students create positive impact for communities and grow into globally minded and socially responsible leaders.
