Thriving through Uncertainty:Resilient Leadership

Everyone experiences stress and adversity, but must be able to bounce back in order to meet new challenges. The pandemic has continued for more than two years. Students have experienced unprecedented educational disruption from repeating school closures, resumptions, face-to-face class arrangements and online learning, and are struggling to face different challenges under the new normal.

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups conducts an annual survey on stress index with secondary school students. The 20201 results found that secondary school students faced the most pressure in a decade in which more than half of the secondary school pupils (52%) felt stressed about falling behind on their coursework during the pandemic. Although the result in 20212 falls back slightly to 48%, there have been several cases of students committing suicide since the beginning of the school year.

Resilient leaders bounce back from setbacks. The Institute makes good use of its facilities at the former Fanling Magistracy to design a series of resilient leadership training programmes. Hack the CrisisBeyond Insights - Leadership Certificate Course improves participants’ emotional intelligence, adversity intelligence and spiritual intelligence through 6 training themes. For example, Wellness Generation & Mindfulness aims to develop participants’ wellness and mindfulness mindset as well as learn how to express personal feelings effectively and accurately. They will be further strengthened by capacity building to turn adversity into opportunities with agility. Communication Walker and The Art of Appreciation introduce communication theories and the techniques of appreciation to avoid communication blind spots. Through skills training simulation and practice, participants will develop their wellness and self-leadership.

轉危為機的抗逆領袖

每個人難免遇到壓力和逆境,但必須學會應對才能迎接新的挑戰。疫情持續至今已超過兩年,學生經歷前所未有的變化,反覆地停課、復課、面授上課及網上授課,在新常態下努力面對不同挑戰。
 

香港青年協會每年就中學生壓力指數作出問卷調查。2020年的結果顯示1,逾半(52%)受訪中學生壓力指數屬偏高水平,相關比例亦是近十年最高。即使2021年2的調查結果稍微回落至四成八,但開學數月卻出現多宗學生懷疑輕生事件,學生情緒健康和壓力備受關注。                

                               
一個成功的抗逆領袖能從挫折成長。學院善用前粉嶺裁判法院的設施,設計多項抗逆領袖培訓,提升青年全健思維,達到自我領導效果。「破解危機.激發潛能」領袖訓練證書課程通過6項培訓活動,提升學員情緒智商、逆境智商及靈感智商。其中,「W世代M思維」旨在建立學員全健思維及靜觀正念,讓學員有效並準確表達個人感受,強化敏捷領導力,帶領團隊轉危為機。而「溝通行者」及「讚美的藝術」則協助學員掌握溝通的技巧並學習讚美的方法,改善溝通盲點。通過不同的情景模擬及技巧練習,學員在面對困難時定能及早整理經驗,調整心態,實踐領袖能力。

Rise and Shine Through Service-learning and Scholarship

Young people at the senior secondary stage have already demonstrated leadership qualities by assuming leadership roles in schools. The Hong Kong 200 Leadership Project (“Project”) encourages experiential learning opportunities. Through dialogue sessions with prestigious social leaders, workshops, seminars, organisation visits and implementation of social innovation projects, it enriches participants’ understanding of current issues and important development trends in both local and global society while nurturing an innovative mindset among our future leaders for tackling social problems and making a positive impact on the community.

Peony Sham, a student from Shatin College and school debating team captain, was the champion of the junior division of the HKFYG English Public Speaking Contest. She joined the Project last year through school nomination. She and her team designed a local virtual tour with Virtual Reality (VR) for seniors with limited mobility. The idea has won the Silver Award. The Project aims to encourage participants like Peony and her team to put thoughts into action by using design thinking skills and creating a prototype of their project addressing social issues, reinforcing their willingness to give back to Hong Kong.

Last year, the Project also provided scholarships
 to participants and alumni who wish to broaden their regional and global vision to join short online leadership courses offered by renowned universities like Harvard University and the University of Oxford. Peony also applied for the scholarship to study online leadership foundation courses at Harvard University as she believes that effective communication and collaboration skills are essential to achieve professional goals. 

Audrey Kwan, another team member studying at Kowloon True Light Middle School, further exerted her peer influence and inspire other classmates to visit an elderly community centre and “lead” the seniors to “walk around” Hong Kong with the VR experience. The elderly enjoyed the “trip” and wished to visit more places. Moreover, it encouraged Audrey to further improve the content and application of the experience after the public exam.

Hong Kong 200 turns our ideas into reality. I am very thankful to my team and mentors who help us a lot to execute the design to serve more seniors in society. I never thought that our design can bring significant impact on senior’s mental and physical health.
                                                 - Audrey Kwan (
Kowloon True Light Middle School)

雕琢非凡 綻放光芒 
 

踏入高中階段的青年開始累積擔任學生領䄂的經驗,《香港200》領袖計劃透過社會領袖對話、由國際青年領袖舉辦工作坊、研討會、機構參觀及實地考察,以及社會創新實踐等,加強青年的領導技巧,深入了解香港及國際社會的現況與未來發展的新趨勢,並啟發和培育青年以創新的思維去解決社會問題親身推動社會的正面發展

就讀沙田學院的岑沛欣(Peony)是學校辯論隊隊長,曾奪得香港青年協會英語演講比賽初中組冠軍。她去年經學校推薦參加《計劃》,其後她與團隊在「Project for Hong Kong」中設計《香港耆遇記》,透過虛擬實境(VR)攝錄香港不同的景點並製作虛擬導覽,助長者打破社交孤立的困境,項目更在比賽中獲得銀獎。《計劃》旨在培訓學員透過設計思維為社會有需要人士提出實際可行的生活改善方案,為建立「願意為香港」的精神播下種子。

 《計劃》去年更提供獎學金就讀國際知名學府,包括英國牛津大學、美國哈佛大學等的網上領袖課程,鼓勵學員擴闊視野。夢想成為醫生的Peony明白良好的溝通協作技巧才能充分發揮其專業能力。因此她亦申請了獎學金,修讀哈佛大學的網上領袖基礎課程,爭取機會提升軟技能。

團隊另一組員,就讀九龍真光中學的關懷恩(Audrey)更啟發其他同學並於校內組織義工隊伍,帶同VR眼鏡到訪長者服務中心,為長者提供親歷其景的互動體驗。長者在體驗中表現積極及投入,更表示希望能「走訪」更多香港不同的地區,令Audrey及同學感到十分鼓舞。她更計劃公開試後進一步改良內容及技術應用,讓更多長者受惠。

「我從未想過《香港耆遇記》能對長者的身心健康帶來這麼大的影響。感謝《香港200》讓我能大膽地實踐想法;同時亦感謝組員及導師悉心教導,使《香港耆遇記》得以實現。」                                                                                                            -  關懷恩 (九龍真光中學)

The First Consideration Beyond Conservation

Every heritage building has its unique historical and cultural significance. Therefore, it is essential to renovate the heritage building to consider safety and heritage values. The central atrium at the former Fanling Magistracy was primarily preserved, including the random patterned artificial granite tiles as floor finishes, the ornamental metal balustrades and profiled timber railings to the court on the second floor. However, the old-style barriers did not meet today's safety standards. Hence, glass walls have been installed to ensure safety while helping to minimise damage to the historical components.

活化背後第一考量
 

活化歷史建築物,公眾安全是最首要的考慮,但同時呈現古蹟的原貌亦相當重要。前粉嶺裁判法院的大堂盡量作了保育工作,樓梯以馬賽克磚建成,還附有一條連裝飾鐵製扶欄的樓梯,直達上層的法庭,均予以保留。然而,舊式設計的樓梯扶欄未能符合現今的安全標準,但若拆掉重建卻等於破壞歷史構件。所以,活化時選擇加裝玻璃幕牆來提升高度,以確保安全。
