GEST Skills Sharing – Curate Your Own GE Programme
GEST Skills Sharing is a platform for talented students to showcase their unique abilities and share the skills with fellow classmates. Rather than passive receivers, GE believes that by supporting students to actively curate and initiate projects, students can truly learn and flourish.
In the previous academic year, talented students co-curated various types of activities with us, such as diabolo, embroidery and miniature clay food workshops, as well as pastel Nagomi art workshop.
If you have something you want to share, it could be digital illustration, crafting, or dancing, all (crazy) ideas are welcomed!
