Nick had the honor to be a speaker in the Joint Conference 2023: 2nd National Conference on SULAM ([http://utlc.uum.edu.my/images/2023/final_program_book_jc_sulam_2023_compressed.pdf Conference Booklet)] and the 8th Inspirational Scholar Symposium in Malaysia, following an invitation from Service-Learning Malaysia (SULAM), an initiative by the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia. At the conference, he presented his expertise in Design Thinking and Social Innovation. He also provided guidance to Malaysian university educators on integrating these methodologies into their 14-week curriculum development.
In order to guide future imagination and create a campus atmosphere of entrepreneurial spirit, the Taiwan Ministry of Education focuses on the cultivation of cross-disciplinary talents in design thinking. Nick representing HKBU established a collaborative venture with the Fu Jen Creative Design Center at Fu Jen Catholic University (Post-event Report), Taipei Medical University, and the Ministry of Education in Taiwan for this project. This partnership was to adapt and refine the Design Thinking approach to better align with the unique needs and context of education in the Asia Pacific region, and partnering with with Fu Jen Catholic University, they published a booklet on this project 苗圃計畫 ([https://proj.moe.edu.tw/design-thinking/Default.aspx Design Thinking in Taiwan]) by using the context Nick has developed.  Elders Engagement  Health is more than the absence of disease or infirmity. According to the WHO, health includes physical, psychological and social aspects. Nick is also the founder of the project, Think-Act-Contribute (TAC). The TAC team, led by Nicholas, has created a simple and funky dance move in order to help spread health awareness and health messages to the local community. His team not only dances, but they also help to encourage youth and elderly to get involved in the TAC project, which, in turn, helps to create an environment fostering intergenerational partnership.  * Conference Paper Presentation: Using “Think, Act, Contribute”(TAC) as a unique way to promote healthy living in Tuen Mun District * Conference Paper Presentation:
