On 9 November 2024, students came together at Lingnan@WestKowloon in M+ Tower for an afternoon and evening of training. The event was hosted by the programme then known as MScHRMOB (now MScHROM), with MScATB as co-organiser. Reported as the 2024 Leadership Training Camp, it formed part of MGT506 Action Learning Projects and gave students responsibility for designing and facilitating learning for another programme community.

Four themes, practical choices

The programme report describes a month of preparation and revision for twelve training activities across communication, team collaboration, positive culture and time management. MScHRMOB students took the trainer role, while MScATB students participated as learners. Role play, group discussion and practical challenges created opportunities to explain ideas, coordinate tasks and consider choices such as prioritising urgent and important work.

Rehearsal, observation and feedback

Rehearsal gave teams a chance to test instructions, roles and activity flow before delivery. Two invited industry practitioners contributed to the event alongside programme teachers. The report describes an evaluation approach involving participating teams, faculty and industry input; student accounts also discuss receiving teacher feedback, including the importance of asking learners about their experience after each activity.

Learning through both roles

The published reflections bring both trainer and participant perspectives into view. Trainers describe adapting their plans, managing group interaction and identifying areas for further practice. Participants discuss communication, shared problem-solving and time priorities. These individual accounts illustrate what students noticed and how they interpreted the experience.
