Description
TAC adopted a model with three progressive learning processes: THINK, ACT & CONTRIBUTE. It aims to first prepare the community to understand the TAC concepts in different perspectives (THINK) of psychological, mental and social health. Then physical activity (ACT) will be taught through healthy exercise such as dancing and stretching. Lastly, Participants are encouraged to promote healthy exercise and knowledge in the community (Contribute) by joining the TAC Health Leaders Program.
By sharing a similar mission as Tuen Mun Healthy City Limited, we cooperate and adopt the TAC model to spread healthy ideas in the community. Unlike ordinary exercise program, this project packaged regular exercise programs with health-related seminars and workshops.
Also, Health leaders (TAC Health Leaders) trained as trainers to further promote healthy lifestyles and create a supportive environment in sustaining healthy lifestyles in Tuen Mun. In the aspect of Service-Learning, Lingnan students act as Health Leaders to create health awareness in the community such as primary and secondary schools while applying the service experience and knowledge into their academic studies.
