    教育局局長蔡若蓮博士8月24日在3號風球之下專程到訪「地理空間實驗室」,與一眾校長師生互動交流,聆聽同學們以地理信息系統介紹「水鄉大澳」、「將軍澳的宜居情況」和香港歷史。SCC創辦人兼榮譽會長葛珮帆議員及鄧淑明博士、東華三院行政總監蘇祐安先生和發展局空間數據辦事處總監陳宇俊先生在場介紹「地理空間實驗室」的成立目的和概況。

    蔡局長其後在Facebook上分享感受(連結)。她說:「數碼年代,都市人的生活離不開地理空間數據,其應用廣泛,也是推動智慧城市發展的重要元素。我們要善用地理空間數據,從教育入手,讓學生有更多接觸和發揮的機會。」

    局長指出:「地理信息系統是初中及高中地理科課程的必須學習元素,一般應用於地理數據分析、地圖闡釋和實地考察。另外,教育局持續與發展局合作,為學校教師(特別是地理科教師)提供課堂培訓及參觀考察。」

    由發展局成立,東華三院和智慧城市聯盟分別為營運機構和支援組織的「地理空間實驗室」,定期為學校安排活動,協助同學掌握地理空間技術和知識,蔡局長說:「我希望教育界朋友和同學參與。」

    Dr Christine Choi, Secretary for Education, visited Geospatial Lab (GeoLab) on August 24 and watched students’ demonstration of their spatial data projects. After the visit, Dr Choi shared her views on Facebook(link).

    專注城市規劃工作數十年的凌嘉勤教授,在卸任規劃署署長後投身社會創新領域,領導JCDISI,設計務實和創新的方案應對各類社會挑戰,涵蓋過渡性社會房屋、關懷長者就業、建構跨代共融社區等。凌教授認為,社會創新最重要有同理心,深切感受服務對象的痛點。他亦堅信透過落地的創新項目改善基層生活,能影響頂層政策,促進政府及大眾關注議題,策動由下而上的社會革新。

    Professor LING Kar-kan, Director of Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation of PolyU, and SCC’s Honorary Member, was one of the nine winners of The InnoStars Award organised by Our Hong Kong Foundation. Professor Ling believes that the most important element for social innovation is empathy—to profoundly understand the pain and needs of those you serve. He also believes that improving the lives of the grassroots through innovative projects can influence government policy planning, raise government and public concerns on social problems, and stimulate social innovation from the bottom up.
