EdUHK held the ‘Moti-verse Volunteer Power: Student Volunteer Appreciation and Showcase’ in November 2024, to honour 40 students for their excellent contribution to the community during the 2023-24 academic year.

Molti-verse is EdUHK’s student volunteering platform and collective space. It connects students with society through community service, enabling them to apply knowledge they have learnt at university to real life.

An important part of EdUHK’s commitment to nurturing students’ whole-person education is providing opportunities for them to carry out voluntary work within the community. Volunteering helps them develop an open mind and a caring heart, to enhance their understanding and so they make a positive contribution to society.

November’s ceremony was attended by representatives from the government, local groups, and social welfare NGOs. Its theme was ‘Be Our MVP!’, encouraging students to join service teams and participate in community activities to contribute to society and promote a spirit of care.

There were demonstrations of students' participation in service-learning, and interactive booths set up by social welfare NGOs to promote green living under the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Over 700 students and academic and faculty staff attended the event.

Since Molti-verse was launched in 2021, EdUHK’s Student Affairs Office has organised over 400 community service activities, engaging around 5,800 student participants and benefitting over 8,000 recipients through partnerships with 75 local service partners.

Going forward, EdUHK will continue to provide service-learning activities based on the SDGs and enrich students' learning and practical experiences through collaboration with various groups in Tai Po, preparing them for their future careers.
