As the subject Liberal Studies is becoming one of the Core Subjects in the New Senior Secondary Curriculum starting from September 2009, we organized the “Forums and Seminar on the Liberal Studies in New Senior Secondary Curriculum” during March and April of 2009. The theme of the forums was “Is globalization a blessing or a curse to human beings?” Experts in international political relations and global economic affairs were invited to deliver keynote speeches, followed by the responses from representatives of religious organizations to share with us their views on the issue. We shared with our frontline teachers working on Liberal Studies, to explore and discuss about the contemporary and important issues on the relationships between globalization and international politics, economy, culture and religions, so as to keep secondary teachers and students abreast of the current international issues.
These events were conducted in Cantonese without provision of English interpretation.
