School Talks

Activities

In 2013, with the generous support of Prof. Lau Chi Pang, Associate Professor of the Department of History and Coordinator of Hong Kong and South China Historical Research Program of Lingnan University, SDA launched a school talk program in early May, entitled “Connectivity between Hong Kong, Mainland and over the World”. Talks at several schools were arranged and much welcome by participating schools.

Encouraged by the positive result, SDA has modified the school talk program and provided more topics for interested schools. Dr. Lau has further provided some interesting historical topics for the school talk, to enrich students’ knowledge on the history and development of Hong Kong from their daily life. In addition, Dr. Peter Pun, Former Chairman of SDA and former Director of Planning, offers talks on land use and housing policy from the professional point of view.
