Service-Learning (S-L) is a pedagogy that combines academic study with meaningful community service and continuous reflection. Active community service and global learning opportunities are two main focuses of Liberal arts education at Lingnan University.  Apart from providing research opportunities in S-L projects, innovation and entrepreneurship are important component in S-L. Students will integrate creative problem-solving methods (like Design Thinking) in planning S-L projects, making a positive impact on local and international communities and greatly benefitting students’ personal growth and future career development.
