LEAP Activity: Wellness Ambassador Activity Series - Promoting Community Well-Being at Lingnan University
In March 2025, Learning Enhancement Activities Plan (LEAP) launched the Wellness Training cum Ambassador Scheme, aiming to empower students to take on leadership roles in promoting wellness and mental health initiatives within the Lingnan community. Approximately 20 wellness ambassadors have been successfully trained, and they are committed to creating a positive impact on their peers. Recently, two ambassador groups initiated events that engaged over 80 participants, offering enriching experiences that combined creativity, mindfulness, and emotional connection.
Healing Moment: Handicrafts of Knitted Bags
On 6 March 2025, the first group of wellness ambassadors hosted "Healing Moment: Handicrafts of Knitted Bags", an afternoon dedicated to creativity and mindfulness. This event combined art therapy with hands-on crafting, allowing 16 participating students to de-stress, connect, and learn the skill of knitting in a supportive and calming atmosphere.
Journey of the Soul
On 14 and 19 March 2025, the second wellness ambassador group organised the "Journey of the Soul" event, featuring interactive games and personal development sessions designed to rejuvenate students' minds. The event successfully attracted over 60 participants, fostering deeper connections and prioritising mental wellness.
Both events were thoughtfully planned and executed by the wellness ambassadors, showcasing their leadership and organisational skills. These initiatives not only provided students with enriching experiences but also reinforced the importance of mental health and wellness in university life.
Looking ahead, the remaining ambassador groups are preparing their own events, which are anticipated to further enhance the student experience and foster a culture of resilience and well-being at Lingnan University.
