‘Summer Camp 2017’ with Jockey Club Neo Education Lab 賽馬會創新教育工作室小島學園「暑期營 」2017

Background of co-organiser

Jockey Club Neo Education Lab

Jockey Club Neo Education Lab, a brand new project under Principal Chan Free Tutorial World, was established in September, 2016. It is an open platform which brings together education enthusiasts for investigating and experimenting innovative educational ideas. Ultimately, we hope to broaden our community and parents’ imagination for diverse education models instead of an exam-oriented one for the betterment of the young through dialogue in seminars and workshops, as well as through other programs run by our organization, such as camps, magazine publication and so on.

陳校長免費補習天地轄下的賽馬會創新教育工作室於2016年9月成立,旨在透過講座、分享會、工作坊、體驗營、教學示範、短期課程和出版家長教育刊物等途徑,讓香港家長認識應試教育以外的多元教育模式,打破他們對應試教育的迷思,從而減少家長對學校教學的誤解和阻力,和學校一起糾正以往扭曲的教育生態。

In this camp, students will experience a learning journey with whole person education as the direction and unity of theory and practice as the model; it is a learning experience of character building, academic development and skills training.
