Learning, Action and Reflection
For encouraging students to build up their own repertoire of knowledge to serve the community in a proper manner and internalize their service experience after the service programme, students are welcome to join either the training in the domain of Civic Education - Civic Engagement programme of the ILP or the training within the service programme. Students will share their learning experience in the reflection paper and in the presentation session to realize what they have leant. 

Topics of the training workshops:
• Basic knowledge and attitude in volunteering
• Service skills training, such as listening skills, skills serving children or needy groups
• Leadership skill and project management

Please refer to the talks/workshops under "Civic Engagement Series" in ILP - Civic Education.
