Summary 內容: The urban farming spaces on campus have been providing the opportunity and inspirations for students and staff to engage in organic farming, horticulture practices, as well as interdisciplinary studies. Throughout the years, the spaces act as a hub to promote awareness on sustainability and wellbeing among the HKU community.

To expand the benefits of the edible spaces to a wider audience, we have been recruiting HKU students, who are passionate about gardening/farming and sustainability, to be Holistic Urban Farming Ambassadors to assist in hosting tours and workshops.

The fourth round of Ambassador Training Programme is now open for application. In the programme, experts from respective areas will share their knowledge and experiences with the participants, and the students will apply what they have learnt to design and host tours and workshops.

校園中的都市種植空間為師生提供參與有機耕種和園藝活動的機會,並啟發了一些跨學科的研究項目。透過舉辦各種活動,「港大都市種植」致力向師生推廣可持續發展及提高身心健康的關注,為了進一步與大眾各界分享都市種植的好處和潛力,我們招募港大學生成為「都市種植大使」,協助籌辦導賞團及工作坊,學生大使既能親身實踐綠色生活,也能為可持續發展出力,推廣都市種植對社區身心靈的裨益。

第四屆「都市種植大使培訓計劃」現正接受報名,一系列工作坊將由各領域的專家擔任導師,學員參加工作坊後將協助設計導賞活動,並於活動中應用所學。
