Erudition 博學 11‧2022 The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong Newsletter 香港恒生大學通訊 Feature 專題報道 Responsible Management and ESG – From Vision to Reality at HSUHK 負責任管理與ESG － 恒生大學的願景與實踐 Interview with Dean Wai-sum Chan: Making a New Start 陳偉森院長專訪：作育英才不言退 Joint Appreciation and Naming Ceremony of Three Residential Colleges 恒大三所住宿書院聯合感謝暨命名典禮 Awards for HSUHK Campus Projects 恒大校園發展項目獲獎 Feature 專題報道 Responsible Management and ESG – From Vision to Reality at HSUHK 負責任管理與 ESG － 恒生大學的願景與實踐 The importance of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) and sustainable development have been rapidly growing around the globe over the past decade. As a forward-looking higher education institution which keeps abreast of the global trend, HSUHK spares no effort in addressing some Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as reported in the past issues of this Newsletter, while identifying responsible management of ESG reporting as the key teaching and research areas to nurture the next generation in practising sustainable development for the betterment of society. 環境、社會及管治 （ESG）和可持續發展領域，過去十年在全球迅速發展和演變。作為具前瞻性的高等院校，香港恒生大學除了致力於一些可持續發展目標（SDGs），並在之前的《博學》通訊作出報道外，同時緊貼全球趨勢，將負責任管理與 ESG 報告列為重點教學和研究範疇之一，以培育新一代更關心社會，具體實踐可持續發展，為社會謀福祉。 Core Value of ‘Responsible Management’ 「負責任管理」核心價值 As a lead scholar on stakeholder-based governance model, Professor Simon S M Ho, President of HSUHK, agrees that ESG can help society, enterprises and organisations to allocate resources more effectively and achieve sustainable growth. He states, however, that the lack of a common conceptual framework and an international standard for ESG creates difficulty in tailoring the different understandings and expectations of stakeholders. In this regard, it is necessary to educate the market to redefine the purpose of corporations from the social contracting perspective, to focus on stable and long-term growth in value, and to balance the interests of different stakeholders. 作為持份者為本管治模式的領先學者，恒大校長何順文教授認同ESG有助社會、企業及機構更有效分配資源，達致可持續成長，不過他認為，現時全球對ESG的理念與定義太含糊，有不同理解與期望，欠缺統一的理念架構與國際標準，因此有必要教育市場從社會契約視角重新理解企業的目的，着重長遠、穩定的增長與可持續價值，並平衡不同持份者的利益。 President Ho is a committed advocate of Responsible Management. In 2007 when he served as the dean of a university business school, he led the school to become the first signatory institution in Asia in the UN Principles of Responsible Management Education. Following that, in 2018, he proposed the ‘Integrated Conceptual Framework of Responsible Management’ in the PRME Annual Conference at the UN Headquarters, comprising the ‘ethics’, ‘stakeholders’ values’ and ‘sustainability’ domains under ‘governance’. 何校長素來提倡「負責任管理」，亦重視持份者權益，他於2007年成為亞洲首位大學商學院院長簽署加入聯合國「責任管理教育原則」，其後又於2018年於聯合國總部舉辦之PRME周年大會上提出「負責任管理綜合理念架構」，提倡以「道德」、「持份者價值」和「可持續性」，加上「管治」，帶領企業體現「負責任管理」的核心價值。 As part of his effort to promote Responsible Management and ESG, President Ho regularly shares his insights by contributing articles to the media. He was earlier invited by organisations including the Association of China Trend Studies (HK) to speak in a webinar on the topic of ESG and introduce the related education initiatives at HSUHK. 何校長亦身體力行，持續在傳媒發表有關推動ESG和負責任管理的文章，最近又應多個組織包括中國國情研習促進會的邀請，於網上研討會上分享對於ESG的見解，並講解恒大在負責任管理方面的相關教研工作。 Launch of the Research Centre for ESG 成立ESG研究中心 推動實踐可持續發展 The university-wide Research Centre for ESG (CESG) at HSUHK was established in 2021/22, funded by the Institutional Development Scheme of the Research Grants Council (RGC) of Hong Kong. It aims to conduct research on ESG and related issues in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the Southeast Asia; to collaborate with society, the business sector and the government to formulate general ESG assessment principles and frameworks; and to promote ESG education and training. 恒大貫徹教學理念，於2021/22年在研究資助局的資助下成立大學層面的ESG研究中心，旨在研究香港、大灣區以及東南亞相關的ESG 議題；與社會、商界及政府合作，制定通用的ESG評估原則及架構，以及推動ESG教育與培訓工作。 President Ho says that CESG is not affiliated with a single school or department, and it is a pioneering initiative in the higher education sector. As part of its effort to exchange knowledge about ESG and sustainable development, the Centre will carry out policy studies and consultation projects and organise seminars to promote sustainability and ESG education to the public. 何校長指出，ESG研究中心並非隸屬單一的院系，可說是高等教育界的前瞻性舉措，通過開展教研和諮詢項目，以及舉辦講座活動，以交流有關ESG及可持續發展方面的知識。 The Inauguration Ceremony of the Research Centre for ESG. ESG研究中心成立儀式。 Seminar on Integrating ESG into Teaching and Learning ESG 融合教與學研討會 The Centre for Teaching and Learning and CESG co-organised an ESG Seminar on 27 October to discuss the integration of sustainability and ESG concepts into classroom teaching and learning. During the Seminar, President Ho stressed the aspiration of HSUHK to be the leading institution in Responsible Management and ESG in the region, and shared views on the incorporation of ethics, stakeholders’ values, sustainability and governance into teaching and learning. 教與學中心和ESG研究中心在10月27日合辦了一個ESG研討會，探討如何將可持續發展和ESG概念融入課堂教學。在研討會上，何順文 校長強調恒大矢志成為區內「負責任管理」與ESG的領先學府，並分享如何將道德、持份者價值、可持續性及管治，結合課堂教學。 The discussion continued by Professor Louis Cheng, Director of CESG and Dr S H Ho Professor of Banking and Finance, who elaborated on the ESG definitions and illustrated them with daily life examples. He also explored the possible directions for ESG related teaching, providing examples of its integration into economics, finance and accounting teaching. ESG研究中心主任、何善衡博士銀行及金融學教授鄭子云教授則通過日常生活中的例子，闡述ESG的定義，並列舉將ESG融入經濟、金融和會計教學的例子，探討與ESG相關的教學方向。 President Simon Ho (left) and Professor Louis Cheng (right) share about integrating ESG factors into teaching and learning. 何順文校長（左）和鄭子云教授（右）分享如何將 ESG 融入教學。 Engaging in Advancing Hong Kong ESG Competence Level 致力提升香港ESG能力水平 To promote ESG in the higher education sector and to nurture ESG young talents, CESG is organising the ‘Hang Seng x Value Partners University Elite ESG Challenge 2023’ event, sponsored by Hang Seng Bank and Value Partners. Through e-learning and trading simulation, participants from local universities are expected to equip themselves with ESG investment knowledge and financial analysis skills which would bring better investment returns in the long run, and promote positive values and contributions in society. 為在高等教育界進一步推動 ESG，培育學生成為ESG精英，恒大在恒生銀行聯同惠理集團贊助下，主辦「恒生 x 惠理學界精英ESG挑戰2023」，希望透過在線學習和模擬交易等活動及培訓，使本地大學參加者掌握ESG投資知識和財務分析技巧，長期而言獲得更佳投資回報，為社會帶來正面價值和貢獻。 Currently among the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by HSUHK, 22 modules are ethics related and 12 modules are sustainability or social responsibility related, apart from the BBA Programme in Corporate Governance and Compliance. President Ho remarks that HSUHK’s all-around effort in fostering the concept of Responsible Management and ESG could increase the awareness of future leaders and the younger generation on sustainable development, thereby benefiting the community. 現時，恒大的本科和碩士課程中，除「企業管治與合規工商管理學士」課程外，共有22個科目與「道德」相關，及12科與「可持續發展」或「社會責任」有關。何校長表示，恒大全方位推動負責任管理和ESG的概念，可令未來領袖和年輕一代更重視可持續發展，造福社會。 After 10 years of development, there is still much room for advancement for ESG in Hong Kong. President Ho reveals that HSUHK has been actively engaging in promoting enterprises to take care of and balance the interests of different stakeholders, and is committed to formulating internationally applicable standards, hoping to help improve Hong Kong’s corporate disclosure quality and ESG rating. 香港的ESG發展只有短短十年，仍有許多推展的空間。何順文校長指出，恒大近期積極研究推動企業照顧及平衡不同持份者的利益，致力制定國際適用的標準，期望幫助提升香港在企業披露的質素及ESG評級。 Studying green bonds and the potential functions of ESG concepts in the investment world, Professor Louis Cheng says that the ESG development in Hong Kong has been falling behind other regions, and challenges are seen when integrating ESG concepts into investment portfolios. His research team has developed a set of ESG standard ‘i-score’ for introduction to the business sector, as part of the University’s mission to support corporate social responsibility, ESG and sustainability. 鄭子云教授近年專門研究綠色債券、ESG概念在投資界的潛在功能。他認為香港的ESG發展較其他地區落後，資產管理人員將ESG理念融合到投資組合時，面對不少挑戰。鄭教授與研究團隊自行研發了一套ESG標準i-score，希望將標準引入商界，貫徹恒大支持企業社會責任的使命，共同推廣ESG精神，為香港的可持續發展出一分力。 HSUHK People 恒大人 Making a New Start 作育英才不言退 Interview with Professor Wai-sum Chan Dean of the School of Decision Sciences 決策科學學院院長陳偉森教授專訪 “It’s too early for retirement now. Moving from a public university to a private university, I wish to make a change and take on new challenges in the second half of my life.” Professor Wai-sum Chan has been building his teaching career for over 30 years. Just reaching retirement age this year, he decided to switch to a new work environment. “I have a career aspiration which is different from that of my young age. Given the ability and time that I can afford, I am more than willing to continue my work, for students and society.” 「現在退休似乎太早了，我希望尋求改變，於是從公立大學轉到私立大學工作，展開人生下半場的新挑戰。」教學生涯長逾30載的陳偉森教授，剛屆退休之齡，卻決定轉換新工作環境。「我現在的志向與年輕時有所不同，想趁自己仍有能力和時間，繼續工作，以學生及社會為先。」 Professor Chan’s first impression of HSUHK – ‘small’, also reveals its advantages. For instance, small class teaching can be implemented given the smaller student population, and the relationship between staff and students, and between colleagues, is much closer. He added, “With no doubt, a ‘small university’ has its constraints in resource utilisation. Limitations are everywhere, indeed. That’s how we put decision-making science into practice.” Seeing the decline in school-age population, Professor Chan believes that HSUHK’s key development will focus on adjusting the admission strategy, balancing the development of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, while actively expanding the source of admissions outside Hong Kong and planning the development of education in the Greater Bay Area. 來到恒大，陳教授笑說第一印象是「細」，但「細校」也有其優勢，例如學生人數相對較少，可實行小班教學，師生及同事之間的關係亦更緊密。「資源運用方面，『細校』當然有其掣肘，但凡事都有限制，此時就是將決策科學學以致用的時候了。」現時香港適齡學生人數下跌，陳教授認為恒大的重點發展將著眼於調整收生策略，平衡本科生與研究生課程發展的同時，積極擴闊香港以外的收生源，並計劃在大灣區的教育發展。 Born and raised in Hong Kong, Professor Chan went overseas to further his study after graduating from a local university. Starting his teaching career at National University of Singapore, the scene of his first lecture is still vivid in his mind. “I got into a panic when facing 200 students in my first class!” Over the many years, he has encountered different types of students, ranging from mature students who returned to school after serving in the army in Singapore, to top scorers and elite students in Hong Kong. He recalled the days of being the pioneering staff in actuarial science education at a local university. “In the early 2000s, the admission score of the Actuarial Science programme was higher than that of Medicine. Many parents of the top scorers ‘begged’ us for a placement. These elite students were capable yet some of them were arrogant, and teaching them was not easy at all.” 陳教授在香港土生土長，大學畢業後赴海外升學，其後在新加坡國立大學展開教學生涯。第一天走進教室的情況他仍歷歷在目：「我的首課就面對200名學生，很驚慌，不知所措！」身經百戰多年，陳教授遇過不同類型的學生，有新加坡當兵後重返校園的成熟男生，也有香港的狀元及尖子。他憶述於2000年代初在一所本地大學擔任精算教育「開荒牛」的日子：「當時精算課程的收生分數比醫科還要高，不少尖子的家長向精算系叩門求學位。這些精英學生的能力很高，部分人卻比較自傲，教導他們並非易事。」 Apart from working, Professor Chan also enjoys travelling around the world with his family. 在工作以外，陳教授亦享受與家人周遊列國。 Professor Chan (2nd from left, back row) receives President Ho (the 1st from right, front row) as a guest speaker when working at Chung Chi College of CUHK. 陳教授（後排左二）在中大崇基服務時接待何校長（前排右一）作為論壇講者之一。 Talking about his expectations for HSUHK students, Professor Chan advised them to have self-confidence and strive for progress and advancement. He often encourages students based on his own experiences. “Born into a grassroots family, I didn’t go to prestigious primary and secondary schools. I also failed in the public exam and I had to repeat and retake it. To me, failure is always a good challenge…Where you start is not a concern, as long as you seize the opportunity. You can also achieve success by gradually moving up from a low starting point.” 陳教授對恒大的學生有另一番期望，他寄語學生要有自信，並力求進步。他常以自身經歷勉勵學生：「我出身自基層，中小學不是在名校就讀，公開試也有科目不及格，要留班重考。失敗對我來說是很好的磨練……所謂英雄莫問出處，不要介意自己的起步點，只要好好把握機會，慢慢從低點向上行，也可獲得成功。」 Despite his busy teaching schedule, Professor Chan continues his research work. Apart from analysis related to economics and actuarial science, he also comments on retirement protection and elderly care. In recent years he has been studying ‘longevity risk’, because of the serious ageing problem in Hong Kong which brings about the high expenses for long term care services. He has put forward policy proposals such as reverse mortgage and annuity, which have been recognised by the government. “Our research work may not affect the world, nor can it change society in the short term, but we hope to gradually create an impact and make a contribution.” 儘管教學工作繁忙，陳教授仍積極繼續其研究工作，範疇不單經濟和精算，亦包括退休保障、安老政策等。他近年研究有關「長壽風險」的課題，因為香港人口老化問題日趨嚴重，長期護理的支出龐大，銀髮一族十分關注。他過去曾提出逆按揭及年金等政策方案，皆獲政府認同，他坦言：「我們的研究未達至影響世界，也未必可短期內改變社會，但也期望能夠逐步帶來影響及貢獻。」 Passionate about discovering new interests 熱衷發掘新興趣 Professor Chan was once a passionate diver, but he later put this hobby aside after weighing the increasing level of danger proportional to age, thanks to his expertise in decision science and risk management. As a keen learner, he is ready to pick a new hobby – Chinese painting, calligraphy and seal carving. Apart from his good Chinese language proficiency and fondness for Chinese poetry, it also has something to do with scientific research. “I was told that calligraphers and painters have lived long, according to a research study conducted by one of my students. I want to verify if it is true!” explained Professor Chan. 陳教授曾經熱衷潛水，但作為決策科學及風險管理專家，他衡量過這項運動的危險性會隨著年紀增長，因而擱下。近來，他又找到新興趣，準備學習書畫與篆刻，除了因為本身中文根底好和喜歡詩詞歌賦，原來背後也與科學研究有關，他笑言：「我從我學生的一份研究發現，自古以來書畫家都較長壽，我當然要驗證一下是否屬實！」 Professor Chan was once a passionate diver. 陳教授曾經熱衷潛水。 Professor Chan (1st from left, front row) enjoys playing football. It is also a voluntary work which he has been devoted to for more than ten years. “I regularly play with the youth at risk. Some of them have criminal records, or are having drug treatment and rehabilitation. I also send them footballs as encouragement.” 陳教授（前排左一）閒時以踢足球為最大消遣，這同時是他投入了十多年的義務工作。「我每週與邊緣青年踢一次波，他們大多未夠18歲，有曾經犯事的，也有戒毒中的。他們日夜都踢波，足球很快爛掉，我們就贈送足球給他們作鼓勵。」 Professor Chan (1st from right, front row) takes picture with HSUHK students. 陳教授（前排右一）與恒大學生合照留念。 Sharing by Alumni Sharing by Alumni 校友分享 An All-round Communications Professional with Rich Business Knowledge 財經知識成就多元傳訊專才 Interview with Alumna Ms Heidi Lam Bachelor of Journalism and Communication (Hons) Programme (with concentration in Business Journalism) (2015) Cofounder, NL Mind Creative Limited Cofounder, 212 Studio Limited 林愷欣女士專訪 新聞及傳播（榮譽）學士課程（專修商業新聞）（2015） NL Mind Creative Limited聯合創辦人 212 Studio Limited聯合創辦人 Having a keen interest in journalism, communication and business, Ms Heidi Lam had always wanted to become a financial reporter. When selecting her university major, upon learning that the Bachelor of Journalism and Communication (Hons) Programme offered by HSUHK’s School of Communication (SCOM) focused on business journalism and communication, she immediately decided to sign up for the Programme. 林愷欣女士對新聞傳播和商業均感興趣，一直希望成為財經記者。大學選科時，她得悉本校傳播學院的新聞及傳播（榮譽）學士課程主打商業新聞傳播，便第一時間報讀。 Heidi enjoyed her study at HSUHK very much, “Our Journalism Programme is practical and comprehensive, with up-to-date content in line with the actual development and operation of the industry, and teachers possessing extensive industry experience. Besides, leveraging its close ties with the business community, SCOM is able to offer students internship opportunities in large companies, thereby giving us a solid foundation for our future careers.” 愷欣十分享受在恒大的歲月：「恒大新聞課程內容實用而全面，緊貼行業的發展及運作情況，老師的業界經驗亦很豐富。此外，學院與商界連繫緊密，為恒大學生提供在大公司實習的機會，為我們未來投身事業打穩根基。」 Heidi and her classmates had the opportunity to participate in various overseas news-gathering activities, such as covering the Taiwan Election alongside reporters from all over the world, which benefitted them a lot. To her, the most unforgettable experience during her studies was about documentary production. “Our lecturer had extensive experience in profile interviews, and taught us how to portray an interviewee with a human touch in a documentary.” At that time, she went to Macau to gather materials and conduct interviews for producing a ten-minute documentary. Her work was highly appreciated by her teacher, who later introduced her to work at a TV station and eventually became Heidi’s direct supervisor. 愷欣與同學們有機會參與不同的外地採訪活動，例如與來自世界各地的記者一起採訪台灣大選，獲益良多。在課程中，愷欣最難忘的是拍攝紀錄片。「導師有豐富的人物訪問經驗，教導我們如何在紀錄片中刻劃主角人性的一面。」她當時到澳門取材採訪，拍攝10分鐘紀錄片，其作品得到導師讚許，並獲介紹到電視台工作，而這位導師後來更成為她的直屬上司。 Heidi, having already familiarised herself with the operation of TV stations and the use of shooting equipment during her days at HSUHK, manages to quickly adapt to her work in TV stations after graduation. 林愷欣在學時已對電視台運作和拍攝器材的使用相當熟悉，因此畢業後很快適應電視台工作。 Having worked as a feature news reporter at different TV stations for about five years, Heidi decided to set up a business in 2019 with her friends from the journalism and business fields to provide branding, content marketing and promotional video shooting services to commercial organisations. 在不同電視台任職新聞專題記者約五年後，愷欣於2019年決定自立門戶，與新聞界及商界的朋友合組公司，專門替大型商業機構提供品牌宣傳、內容營銷及宣傳影片拍攝服務。 Heidi, in charge of content marketing, not only develops promotional campaigns of high quality, but also acts as a reporter as necessary to conduct interviews, in which the business journalism knowledge she acquired at HSUHK continues to serve her well. “Some clients have asked us to produce business magazines and interview entrepreneurs about their success stories to enhance the awareness of their brands. This is not difficult for us, as we have many years of experience working as journalists. The Programme at HSUHK SCOM equipped us with knowledge related to advertising and marketing on top of business journalism, allowing me to not only understand the needs of clients from the financial sector, but also master the skills of managing companies, handling accounting matters, and controlling costs properly, so that I can perform well in the capacities of both a journalist and an entrepreneur.” 愷欣負責內容行銷，策劃優質宣傳方案之外，有時亦要充當記者做訪問，昔日在恒大所學的商業新聞知識繼續大派用場。「有客戶委託我們製作商業雜誌，專訪企業家的成功故事，以提升品牌知名度，我們有多年記者工作經驗，可謂駕輕就熟。恒大傳播學院的課程除教授商業新聞知識外，還涉獵廣告和市場學，幫助我了解財經界客戶的需要，同時掌握管理公司、處理會計帳目、妥善控制成本等技能，讓我無論當記者或創業家都能應付自如。」 Heidi (left) sets up a digital advertising company after leaving the news industry to provide branding, content marketing and promotional video shooting services. 林愷欣（左）離開新聞行業後成立數碼廣告企業，提供品牌宣傳、內容營銷及宣傳影片拍攝服務。 During her study at HSUHK, Heidi has the opportunity to participate in overseas news-gathering activities, which benefits her a lot. 林愷欣就讀恒大時，有機會到外地參與採訪，獲益良多。 University Information 大學訊息 Awards for HSUHK Campus Projects 恒大校園發展項目獲獎 HSUHK has been recognised for its campus development projects.

Home-based Arts and Cultural Engagement in Everyday Lives During the Pandemic 「共同孤獨」？居家抗疫期間的遙距藝術及文化參與 Dr Christine Choy 蔡曉瑩博士 Associate Head, Department of Art and Design Associate Director, Centre for Public Policy Research 藝術設計系副系主任 公共政策研究中心副主任 Many of us have become more adaptive to the ‘new normal’ that we creatively developed in the pandemic to regain momentum and bring joy back in our daily lives. During the quarantine period when we worked or studied remotely from home, it was not difficult to find on social media that everyone was trying to make the best use of their ‘me-time’ to nurture their hobbies. Some colleagues have become weekend bakers, posting photos on social media of the delicate pastries they prepared for their families. Some of my relatives and friends picked up the musical instruments they had left for years and recorded using messaging apps to share the beautiful songs they played to motivate friends in quarantine. Many HSUHK students have told me that, apart from playing online games with their friends, they actively use mobile apps to learn foreign languages, visit overseas museums, develop new interests through virtual conferencing platforms to learn from foreign illustrators or choreographers, and to appreciate performing arts and online interactive exhibitions. Some have even started their cultural and creative entrepreneurships by kicking off their online businesses. 自疫情開始至今，大家從一開始的不適應，到各自發揮小宇宙，重拾不少日常生活中的節奏和樂趣。在家工作的時候，我除了上網課，閒時也會瀏覽社交媒體，不難留意到在疫情期間，大家都紛紛善用獨處時間，把握機會培養興趣。部分同事搖身一變成為週末烘培大師，在社交媒體上，刊登為家人準備美味糕點的照片；部分親友重拾多年未彈奏的樂器，透過通訊軟件發送自己彈奏的音樂鼓勵隔離中的親友。不少恒大的同學告訴我，除了約朋友在網上組隊「打機」，他們亦以手機應用程式學習外語、到訪世界各地的博物館，也會透過網上會議向外國插畫家或編舞家拜師學藝、欣賞文藝表演及網上互動展覽，不少更已經在文化及創意產業的領域開展網店創業之路。 As a teacher and scholar from the Cultural and Creative Industries Programme, I am particularly interested in and curious about the social phenomenon, especially about the impact of new media on home-based arts and cultural engagement. I developed the idea into a research proposal titled ‘Art at home: The impact of new media and online cultural production on home-based arts engagement’, and invited Professor Desmond Hui, Head of the Department of Art and Design, and Dr Rochelle Yang, Assistant Professor and a practicing creative media artist, as co-investigators. The proposal was successfully funded by the Faculty Development Scheme (FDS) of the University Grants Committee.【1】 作為教授文化及創意產業課程的老師及學者，我對上述的社會現象，特別是新媒體對於家中參與文化及藝術活動的學術議題，產生了濃厚的興趣和好奇心。我將上述的研究議題，發展題為「藝在家中：新媒體及網上文化生產對遙距參與藝術的影響」的研究計劃書，並邀請藝術設計系系主任許灼權教授及助理教授與創意媒體藝術家楊宜瑄博士加入團隊。項目成功獲大學教育資助委員會的教員發展計劃資助。【1】 One of the interesting research findings is how new media serves as a community building platform which transcends geographical distance. During the social distancing period, home-based arts and cultural engagement was a strategic move for participants to adjust to the physical condition of ‘being in quarantine alone’ by changing it to a mental state of connectivity – ‘being in quarantine alone but together’. More importantly, home-based arts and cultural engagement allows individuals to improve their level of happiness (well-being among citizens), arts and cultural organisations to extend their operation (sustainability of the industry) and our society to strengthen its long-term development (resilience of our post-pandemic society). 當中相當有趣的發現，在於新媒體如何作為跨地域的社區營造平台，在社交距離措施實施期間，策略性地讓看似「孤獨抗疫」的日常，實踐了「同心抗疫」的作用，更重要的是提升個人的幸福感（市民的心理健康）、擴大文藝團體的生存空間（行業的可持續性）、鞏固社會的長遠發展（社會抗疫的韌性）。 Since January 2022, our team has been working on a 30-month research project, with data collection using online ethnography, focus groups and surveys. The team has presented, edited, and published (and accepted to publish) relevant papers, books, and discussions. Part of the research output is on online arts marketing, algorithmic culture in digital fandom, games and cultural heritage.【2】-【6】 團隊自今年1月開展為期30個月的網上田野調查、焦點小組訪問以及問卷調查的研究。成員在國際學術會議及刊物匯報、編輯及發表 （及獲接受發表）相關的學術文章、書籍及評論，部分研究成果涵蓋網上藝術市場營銷、數據及網上粉絲文化、遊戲及文化遺產。【2】-【6】 Dr Choy speaks at the Greater Bay Area Cultural Heritage and Creative Innovation Conference. 蔡博士於粵港澳大灣區 文化遺產與創意創新研討會演講。 The research has shown that online and video games are one of the most important home-based arts and cultural activities among the younger population. Apart from being a leisure activity, games present an important value for connecting community members and improving psychological well-being. Taking it one step further, the team explored the possibility of developing game-based experiential learning practices. Targeting at HSUHK staff members and students as well as the public, the project team adopted an inter-departmental and cross-disciplinary pedagogy and research objective to propose the project ‘From retro to the metaverse games: Imagining Asia and creative industries from the past, the present, to the future’. The proposal was funded by the HSUHK Strategic Development Grant 2022/23, with a team composed of Dr Pui-sze Cheung and Dr Joseph Li from the Asian Studies Programme of the Department of Social Science, and Dr Christine Choy and Dr Patrick Mok from the Cultural and Creative Industries Programme of the Department of Art and Design.【7】 研究團隊發現，電子及網上遊戲是年輕人在抗疫期間重要的居家社交活動。除了消遣，更有連繫社區及提高心理健康的價值。有見及此，團隊進一步探討以電子遊戲作為體驗式教研實踐的可能性。項目團隊以恒大師生及公眾為對象，結合跨學系、跨學科的教學及研究理念提出計劃書 ─「從復古到元宇宙遊戲︰亞洲文化想像與創意產業的今昔與未來」。項目獲恒大策略性發展基金 2022/23 支持，跨學系的項目團隊成員包括：社會科學系亞洲研究課程張佩思博士和李祖喬博士，以及藝術設計系文化及創意產業課程蔡曉瑩博士和莫健偉博士。【7】 With the RETRO.HK Gaming Expo 2022 successfully held in October 2022, HSUHK staff members and students learnt more about the history, Asian cityscapes and creative economy embedded in the videogames exhibited. The pedagogy-related article inspired by the interdisciplinary project will be published in the upcoming publication of the Department of Art and Design.【8】 今年10月舉辦的「香港復古遊戲展覽2022」，就讓恒大師生及公眾體驗電子遊戲的歷史、亞洲城市面貌與創意經濟，當中對跨學科教育的啟示亦將輯錄於藝術設計系即將出版的刊物。【8】 Learning from the pandemic experience not only teaches us to cherish our time together, but also inspires us to reflect on the dual meanings of challenges in life and the importance of changing perspectives for a greater world. 這次的抗疫經驗使我們更珍惜相聚的時光，更讓我們反思：生活中有不少挑戰，但只要嘗試換個視角，說不定就會帶來不一樣的得著！ 相關刊物 Related publications 【1】 Choy, C.
