Abstract

This is a community writing project aims to engage students in

1. discovering and writing about the involvement and contribution of CUHK members in local and overseas communities in different times
2. revealing and recording the histories and connections of CUHK and Hong Kong society, for examples, the establishment of New Asia College and United College, the social projects that CUHK has launched, etc.
3. understanding the making and evolving of the communities we grow and live
4. cultivating stronger involvement in communities as members of CUHK and as citizens of Hong Kong

In order to achieve the above objectives and to maximise its impact, the project involves different experts—literary researchers, writers, sociologists, social historians, anthropologists, etc.—to work together. It also engages CUHK alumni with organised efforts to capitalise on their expertise in contributing to students’ learning experience. In so doing, it binds our students, colleagues and alumni in a strong esprit de corps.
