CUS3112: Cultivating Environmental Awareness through Service-Learning

Cultivating Change: Engaging with Sustainability and Farming

In the course CUS3112, students rolled up their sleeves and dove into a vibrant Service-Learning experience focused on farming and environmental sustainability. This initiative aimed to not only teach ecological concepts but also to connect students with the land and their local community.

Over five weeks, students got their hands dirty at Lingnan Garden, where they planted crops, tended to the earth, and learned about sustainable agricultural practices. This hands-on work was more than just farming; it was an opportunity to critically reflect on important issues related to farming, the environment, and ecology.

The adventure continued with a visit to the Sangwood Seeds Lab, where students helped clean the farm and enjoyed outdoor cooking experiences. These activities were not just tasks; they were moments of joy and learning, highlighting the importance of environmental stewardship in a fun and engaging way.

By maintaining Lingnan Garden, students contributed to a lively space that promotes sustainable agriculture on campus. Their efforts helped to create a community hub where sustainability thrives and awareness grows.

CUS3112 empowered students to express their thoughts on pressing environmental issues while fostering a strong commitment to sustainability through hands-on activities.
