Leadership and Intrapersonal Development (LIPD) – 2018 UGC Teaching Award

Award Citation

2 Years      2017-2018

The team, led by Professor Daniel Shek, with Dr Lu Yu, Dr Cecilia Ma, Ms Yammy Chak and Dr Li Lin as team members, launched the Leadership and Intrapersonal Development (LIPD) initiative with four different yet related subjects in the undergraduate curriculum in 2010. The aim is to nurture essential personal and social competences in the students through the experiential learning approach, and to enhance the undergraduate curriculum, thus providing a holistic learning experience for every first-year student in the new four-year undergraduate curriculum. The LIPD Team plans to use the award grant to develop a series of training modules for teachers and allied professionals interested in offering a LIPD subject, "Tomorrow's Leaders", as a credit-bearing subject or a non-credit-bearing leadership programme.
