QESS/TDG Project Sharing Series: Starting a Language and Culture Centre from Scratch

To let our colleagues know more about how to turn their brilliant teaching ideas into a project and to apply for funding implementing their great ideas, the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) proudly presented a new initiative, QESS/TDG Project Sharing Series in AY2020/21.

In the second sharing of the series, we are honoured to have Dr Rami Chan, Senior Lecturer of Department of Social Science and Director of Centre for Asian Languages and Cultures, to share his valuable experience of his QESS project.

Dr Chan successfully got the funding from the Education Bureau for his QESS project, namely “Establishing the Centre for Asian Languages and Cultures (CALC) at HSUHK” in 2018/19.  And the Centre for Asian Languages and Cultures was successfully established in HSUHK in early 2020.

In the sharing, Dr Chan share not only the useful tips with participants on the application process of QESS project, but also the difficulties encountered when implementing the project during the unexpected pandemic, COVID-19. He also shed lights on how to communicate with the Education Bureau and adjust the planning to meet the project milestones.

The sharing seminar was well attended by about 30 colleagues joining online and a lot of positive feedback was received on Dr Chan’s insightful sharing.
