One-off Experience Activity
Activities for Students
Our programs are designed to complement school curricula, enriching science education and humanities subjects in “Life & Environment” and “Earth & Space” by covering topics such as biodiversity, ecosystems, sustainability, and Earth’s resources. They also connect to “Environment & Living” in humanities education, enabling students to apply interdisciplinary knowledge through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
Professional Development and Training for Primary Teachers
We offer professional development programs for teachers that focus on Hong Kong’s ecology, combining indoor talks, workshops, and field trips. These programs deepen understanding of environmental education principles, support curriculum integration, and enhance nature-based teaching strategies.
Ecological Enrichment Programme
The Ecological Enrichment Programme is designed in a thematic format, offering 4 to 8 customized activities based on students’ interests and needs. By combining engaging indoor lessons with outdoor investigations, the program provides an in-depth understanding of Hong Kong’s rich biodiversity. Below are examples of Long-term enrichment program formats and past activities. For inquiries or further discussion, please feel free to contact us.
Ecological Enrichment Programme -
Butterfly Ecology
The Butterfly Ecology Course aims to introduce students to the local butterfly and plant ecology, while also inspiring them to take an active role in ecological conservation. Through a combination of indoor classes and outdoor surveys, students gain insights into basic insect ecology, Hong Kong butterfly ecology, the interdependence between butterflies and plants, as well as butterfly ecological crises and conservation. If butterfly gardens are present at schools, the curriculum can be customized to include a range of school-based activities that complement the garden and enhance the whole learning experience.
Ecological Enrichment Programme -
Insect Hotel and Pollinating Insects
"Insect hotels" can serve as vital conservation measure for urban insects, particularly solitary bees, by providing them with a nursery. Additionally, insect hotels may function as a significant educational platform to introduce insect ecology and crucial roles of pollinating insects in Hong Kong's ecosystem to students, teachers and event parents. Through a variety of educational and citizen science activities, students’ fear and misconception about insects can be overcome. A more comprehensive understanding of these fascinating creatures can be achieved. The curriculum adopts diverse learning formats, such as indoor classes, handicraft workshops, ecological surveys, and insect hotel survey ambassador training. Students are engaged and equipped to discover the enthralling aspects of insects.
