With regard to the training of this academic year, this Centre had rolled out activities on different themes. They include "proposal writing skills", "the know-how of elderly service", "exploring changing social service needs in a changing trend", and "experience shared by successful project teams". Some of them had welcomed participation of the interested students who were not applicants for subsidies from the I·CARE Social Service Projects Scheme.
The I·CARE Social Service Projects Scheme for 2019-20 will soon commence. Stay tuned for our announcements. For enquiries, please contact Miss He of this Centre at 3943 9859 (Tel) or athenahe@cuhk.edu.hk (Email).
