Hong Kong Experiential Education Network

Hi Experiential Educators,

We hope this email finds you well in these challenging times. We are reaching out regarding whether we should go ahead with an HKEEN Conference this coming November or December, and have created a simple survey to gauge your interest, preferences, suggestions and feedback. The survey should only take a couple of minutes to complete.

Our industry has, in many ways, been upended by COVID-19. And while the hardship of the pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of our interconnected world, it has also highlighted how precious experiential learning is for development and growth.

We will be accepting responses through next Friday, September 11th. We look forward to receiving your feedback, and hope for the opportunity to host HKEEN this coming winter.

HKEEN 2020 Interest Form Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.
