Collaboration with Education Bureau on Docent Tours for Teachers
From November 2015 to February 2016, URA collaborates with EDB to organise docent tours for teachers teaching geography, economics and liberal studies. The routes are specially designed to suit the needs of the teachers so that they can make use of our first hand information to design their teaching materials. Sharing sessions from our professionals have been arranged to deepen teachers' understanding on urban renewal issues.
