| Summary 內容: | Soil, sunlight and rain nurture the grains, vegetables and herbs that we consume, but they are not only food to us. Every touch, smell and taste of the plants brings solace to our bodies and minds. In a hectic and stressful concrete jungle, edible spaces can be a playground for people to take a break and relax. Through gardening activities, city people can reconnect with nature, and be nurtured by plants. In this session, Educational Psychologist Dr. Matthew Chu, will bring us on a journey to explore the benefits that edible spaces can bring to our wellbeing. We are very grateful to have Ms. Huang Shenglin, the first U.S. certified horticultural therapist in Taiwan to be our keynote speaker, sharing her experience and insights from the past 16 years of promoting horticultural therapy. Together we have Mr. Gabriel Ho from Serene Oasis and members of Daily Practices with Nature to share their experiences in Hong Kong. This programme is part of the Impact Project "Urban Edible Spaces Initiative: Growing Food and Happiness in a Sustainable Community" under the Knowledge Exchange (KE) Funding Scheme 2020/21. This KE project is co-organised by CEDARS-GE and the Sustainability Office. 泥土、陽光、雨水孕育出的五穀蔬菜和香草，不但是糧食，一花一草所帶來的香氣、觸感和味道都能為我們的身心靈帶來療癒和平靜。可食空間為生活高壓忙碌的都市人帶來一個喘息的樂園，透過參與種植，城市人能學習與大自然共處，同時亦被植物照顧。這節研討會，港大教育心理學家朱可達博士會和大家一起探討都市可食空間對於社區人士的身心靈健康所帶來的幫助。我們非常榮幸邀請到台灣首位獲美國認證的園藝治療師，黃盛璘老師作主講嘉賓，分享過去16年推動園藝治療的心路歷程。同場我們邀請到基督教家庭服務中心心靈綠洲的社工暨園藝治療師何啟邦先生，和以城市耕種活動推廣永續生活的社區組織「習慣X自然」與我們分享香港的經驗。 此活動為香港大學知識交流項目2020/21：「都市可食空間倡議：可持續發展社區中的食物種植與快樂提升」的一部分，項目由香港大學學生發展及資源中心（通識）及可持續發展事務處及合辦。 ▍Host 主持 ： - 朱可達博士 Dr. Matthew Chu 教育心理學家及 香港大學心理學系講師 Lecturer (Educational Psychologist), Department of Psychology, HKU ▍Keynote Speaker 主講嘉賓： - 黃盛璘女士 Ms. Huang Sheng-ling 台灣園藝輔助治療協會 創會理事長、註冊園藝治療師 Founder, Taiwan Horticultural Therapy Association; Registered Horticultural Therapist ▍Guest Speakers 嘉賓： - 何啟邦先生 Mr. Gabriel Ho 基督教家庭服務中心 心靈綠洲—註冊社工暨園藝治療師 Registered Social Worker & Horticultural Therapist, Serene Oasis, Christian Family Service Centre - 習慣X自然 成員 Members from Daily Practices with Nature Date: 3/3 (Wed) Time: 18:30 – 20:30 Venue: HKU and conducted via online Language: Cantonese and Mandarin (simultaneous interpretation in English will be provided) Online registration: ► HKU Students and Staff - https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?ueid=73242 ► Alumni and Public - https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?guest=Y&ueid=73243 |
