Programme planning and accreditation

GINGER has a team of experienced academics who have abundant experience in programme planning and accreditation exercise in Hong Kong. We were involved in the validation exercise of an Associate degree programme offered by a local higher education institution. The programme was approved by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) and is being implemented now. Besides, our team of consultants were engaged to review the professional training programme with an aim to upgrade it from sub-degree to degree equivalent level. Currently, we are also conducting a 2-year study for the self-financed higher education sector on the credit transfer systems that are deployed specifically for general education.

 

An Integrative Life Planning Model for People with Dementia

GINGER places great efforts in developing protocols for training the elders with dementia through a series of integrative learning activities including, but not limited to reality orientation, daily living skills training, reminiscence therapy, multisensory intervention, music therapy, aroma therapy, fall prevention, mindfulness, meridian exercise, brain health work [4 Arts – qín (琴)、qí (棋)、shū (書)、huà (畫)] and health education. We adopt a life planning approach to dementia care which focuses on abilities that an older person possesses. It strives to deliver holistic care and educate others to meet the needs of old people. Multi-modality treatments are incorporated into a structured session that involves physical, cognitive, social and emotional stimulation. The session is repeated over time to foster a sense of familiarity, security and ability. This in turn encourages engagement and facilitates development.   Each session can be offered either in group and individual, depending on the needs and conditions of the old people.

Through providing services and train-the-trainers workshops for NGOs, GINGER advocates the protocol and allows NGOs to use this protocol to treat their elders with mild to moderate level of dementia.

Apart from NGOs training, GINGER also partners with NGOs in aging districts to train home carers so that more people will be equipped with knowledge to take care of their family members with dementia. We aim to promote this dementia caring model among neighborhood and encourage home carers to take care of one additional elder with dementia in their home. GINGER runs free training workshops in those aging districts to equip home carers on a regular base.

 

 

An Integrative Life Skills Learning Programme for Children

We have developed an integrative life skills learning programme – Qn Mug for kids. The programme aims to facilitate children’s development in language, social and emotional, physical fitness, cultural, environment and health literacy. Through an active and exciting learning experience, the children will grow socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. To facilitate planning of children’s development programme, professional assessment of the different literacy levels will be conducted. Based on the outcome, we help children develop their life skills learning plan. Their accomplishments in the different areas of literacy will be endorsed by qualified professionals.
