Panel Discussions

Reflective reading engages students in the works of influential writers and thinkers. While pondering the value of being human, students are guided to reflect on the achievements and limitations of these writers and thinkers. Experiential learning, on the other hand, takes students away from their desk and put them in the real world, where they interact with people, cultivate creativity, and transform into active learners. Doubtless, the two complement each other in the holistic development of our students, and are the subjects of the panel discussion sessions. Teachers and administrators from different institutions will share their thoughts on promoting reading and service learning for general education.
