Abstract

“Positivity and resilience” is the most important core value in the College General Education (CGE) curriculum of S.H. Ho College. With the success of the previous project, “Nurturing Students with Positivity and Resilience through Multimedia and E-learning Platform”, we would like to push forward the use of microfilms in stimulating students’ self-reflection on life challenges and thus strengthen their positivity and resilience in life. In addition, for the sake of sustainability, in this project we are going to engage students in the production and equip them with video making skills. We hope the trained students could help future update of microfilms.

We therefore propose in this project:

1. To train a student team for production of microfilms/ videos through a series of skilled workshops. The trained members will help develop suitable microfilms/ videos for the GESHI0I0 and GESH4010 curriculum and more importantly, help future updating of microfilms in response to abrupt changes of student perception or social environment;
2. With the involvement of the student team, to develop a series of microfilms focusing on common struggles among university students, accompanied with self-reflective questions. These microfilms will be used to bridge the learning gap between our induction course (GESHI0I0) and capstone course (GESH4010). They will also be made available to all CUHK students in nurturing their mental wellbeing.
