LingnanU Elder Academy Sit-in Programme

Background

The Sit-in Programme, sponsored by the Elder Academy Development Foundation, aims at fostering active participation of the elderly in school activities and lessons, intergenerational harmony through learn-and-teach dual identity in Elder Academy activities, and promoting life-long learning and successful aging by "Through Train" Learning Model. Thanks to the support from many professors at Lingnan University, seats are reserved for Sit-in Programme participants in undergraduate courses. The Sit-in Programme will be launched in the first and second semesters, each subject lasting for one semester (around 14 weeks). The elderly enrolled in the Sit-in Program will have lessons together with the university students and have access to the university library. No examination is required and a Certificate of Attendance will be presented to the Sit-in Programme participants with over 80% attendance.

我抱着「學習讓人充電」 的希冀,參加旁聽生計劃課程,既為汲取新知識,亦為再次享受校園的氛圍而欣喜。從事教育事務多年,我很欣賞教師充份的課堂準備。心總是在想,能與年輕人一同學習,了解他們的看法,那就更好了;能帶給他們更多學習和概念的碰撞和衝擊,那就更體現出「長幼共融」的課程目標。感謝嶺南大學提供這個學習的機會,謹祝嶺南大學作育英才,創新永續!

嶺大長者學苑旁聽生課程多元化,令長者在退休後可以學習到不同類型的知識。在嶺大校園裡亦有公園,讓同學們在自然環境中作文化交流。旁聽生可以進入嶺大圖書館閱覽圖書。學苑也不時舉辦免費講座。旁聽生課程不單提供長者退休後的學習機會,更對社會有莫大貢獻,例如:長者們可持續學習,減少跟社會脫節的機會;另外能夠結交新朋友、減慢腦部退化和減輕政府在醫療和安老機構的負擔等等。

我抱着學習新知識,感受嶺大校園學術氛圍和有機會與年青人溝通的心態來参加旁聽生課程。課堂内容非常有趣,讓我擴闊目光認識新事物;課後也有機會到校園圖書館。嶺大校園清幽寧靜,實為學習寶地。另外,必須讚賞長者學苑安排周詳,溝通清晰,員工非常友善,衷心感謝!

I have enjoyed attending the lectures as a mature student very much. I have learned a lot about literature, social science and accounting throughout these years . The study can really help me to keep abreast of our advancing society.

很高興能修讀"Blue Planet"這課程。課程內容豐富,課題艱深但有趣味,引發學生追尋及深入探索。能得到一點關於浩瀚宇宙的演化和各星系的知識,已滿足了我的期望。課程讓我們認識到許多影響地球和人類未來的議題,喚醒對保護地球的關注。Dr. Geng的知識廣博及有教學熱誠,準備課堂充足,講解細心。她對學生要求頗高,嶺大的學生們都努力和認真地完成課程活動。我感到非常享受及獲益良多。
