Team Profile

The team has skillfully developed the Holistic Competency Development Framework evidenced by data, setting a benchmark in experiential learning that has reached thousands of students across multiple universities. This framework not only promotes essential competencies, but also encourages educators to design their activities by understanding student rationales for development. The team has spearheaded a couple of impactful events and courses, including the HAVE U Can programme, the first-ever and still the largest cross-institutional residential programme. The team has also established a Community of Practice, enriching over 1,325 educators, sharing knowledge and innovative pedagogies across institutions. The establishment of the International Holistic Competency Foundation also provides a proper pathway for accrediting courses with holistic competencies, setting benchmarks for educational quality. The team’s commitment is further evidenced by their active engagement in scholarship and their contributions to high-impact publications, which continues to exert influence to the education sector and students.
