To celebrate the Year of Saint Joseph which is proclaimed by Pope Francis to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Proclamation of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church and also the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the Colégio Diocesano de S. José (CDSJ), all Saint Joseph educational institutions in the Diocese of Macao came together, in the Saint Joseph the Worker church, in the morning on the 19th of March, 2021, the Solemnity of Saint Joseph.
The Bishop of Macao and University of Saint Joseph (USJ) Chancellor, Dom Stephen Lee Bun Sang, presided the Holy Eucharist in the presence of students and staff from Saint Joseph International Nursery, CDSJ 1-6, and USJ, as well as CDSJ and USJ alumni.
In the Homily, the Bishop of Macao encouraged the congregation to imitate the virtues of silence, patience, and simplicity of the Spouse of Our Lady, by using the metaphors of bamboo and stone. It echoes to the daily fidelity mentioned in a recent Pope Francis' Message.
The choir of the Mass was supported by the student choir of USJ's Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy (FRSP) and, among the concelebrants, was the FRSP Dean, Reverend Father Franz Gassner SVD.

The World Social Work Day is an annual event that provides opportunities for social workers and others in the social service sector to celebrate their achievements and raise awareness and support to advance human well-being. 2021 World Social Work Day was celebrated on the 16th of March, 2021, the third Tuesday of March, with the theme “Ubuntu”, meaning to strengthen social solidarity and global connectedness. This year, the Social Welfare Bureau has authorised the Social Work Professional Committee, coordinating with schools and associations, to organise a symposium with the theme “Macau Social Work under Pandemic”. It was held at the Clementina Leitão Ho Brito Theatre. The two topics discussed in the symposium were “social innovation during the pandemic” and “the pandemic’s effect on mental health”.
Professionals from different fields of local social service agencies shared their experiences and challenges with service innovation during the pandemic, attracted over 200 audiences. As the sudden virus outbreak brought a halt to many of the social services, many service users lost access to the usual services. Covid-19 also severely impacted disadvantaged groups such as the unemployed, foreign workers, and people with disabilities and their families. In response to this situation, many agencies embraced online counselling, workshops, and events to help service users maintain their routine.
The Social Work Department of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) is one of the seven co-organisers of the event. The Rector of USJ, Prof. Stephen Morgan, and the Dean of the Faculty of Social Science and Education (FSSE), Prof. Elisa Monteiro, were invited to attend the opening ceremony. The rector was also invited to the stage to announce the topic of the event alongside other distinguished guests from local agencies. The head of the USJ Social Work Department, Prof. Ning Tang, and member of the Macau Professional Council of Social Workers, coordinated the entire event. Social work year 3 students took the main lead in designing and monitoring the opening ceremony, with Mr. Andrew Wong and Mr. Peter Kuan as the group leaders, and Ms. Camille Leong as the English MC.
The event offered a unique opportunity for social work students to gain insight into the contemporary challenges of local social work and were also able to obtain practical experiences in working with local agencies, strengthening their understanding and connection to the social work profession.
Another part of the event: Social work students' gathering in the evening at USJ green campus. Social work students from the Macau Polytechnic Institute organised the gathering, around 80 social work students from USJ, MPI, and City University of Macau participated.
Mr. Sou Chio Fai, Former Director of the Macau Youth and Education Bureau, Higher Education Bureau and Secretary General of Talent Development Commission of Macau SAR gave a public lecture at the University of Saint Joseph on March 15th 2021. The Faculty of Business and Law of the university of Sant Joseph hosted the event to stimulate a discussion on the Human Resource Planning in Public Services amongst students of government studies and public administration in Macao. This is a topic of particular importance after recent announcements to expedite public administration reform and nurture and develop talent within the ranks of the public service by the Chief Executive of Macau SAR, Mr. Ho Iat Seng during his policy address for 2021.
According to Mr. Sou, Macao’s human resources were greatly enhanced with the establishment of the educational sector with the setting up of primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions in Macao by the government. The cultural and structural influence of the Portuguese administration can be characterised by expansion and localisation which commenced in the 1980’s and continued onwards after the transition period after 1999. The establishment of specialised tertiary educational institutions specialising in areas of Law, Public administration, Education and Tourism were set up to meet the demands of the growing public administration needs of the ever growing population of Macao before and after 1999. These strategic enhancements were measures taken to plan for the demands in the growing sectors within the public administration and other supporting sectors. Therefore, human resource planning is, in essence, to ensuring an adequate level of quality human resource to meet the challenges brought about by the demands of residents of Macau and goals set out by our Chief Executive. These challenges include the reduction in quality human resources in the public sector due to an ageing population and questions of regional integration of Macao society and the Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao Greater Bay Area.
The event was well participated with students from the University of Saint Joseph Masters in Government Studies Programme, Post Graduate Diploma of Education Programme and Public Administration Programme of the Macao Polytechnic Institute. University of Saint Joseph is committed to providing a platform for discussion and addressing relevant and up-to-date issues for learning across disciplines.

On March 9, 2021, a group of students from the Communication and Media Bachelor programme at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) participated in a workshop co-organised by Dr. Sheyla S. Zandonai, Visiting Professor at USJ, and the UNU-MACAU Cyber Resilience team, headed by Dr. Mamello Thinyane.
The workshop was designed to offer the students an opportunity to put their public relations strategic planning skills into practice.
Held at the UNU-MACAU building, the activity began with the Cyber Resilience team introducing the research project and project stakeholders, i.e. local government/policymakers, media, local civil society organisations, and the academic sector. A brainstorming session followed with students divided into groups to discuss and draft communication strategies that could aid the Cyber Resilience team to effectively engage with each of the identified stakeholder groups.
Students then presented their recommendations to the team and received feedback about the efficacy and feasibility of the communication strategies and tactics proposed for the project.
During the workshop, students were also invited to test and provide feedback about a mobile application that the team is currently developing to help users become more cyber aware and resilient in the face of adverse cyber incidents.

On March 10, 2021, students from year 3 Bachelor of Social Work Programme, accompanied by Prof. Helen Liu and Prof. Michael Lai from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education (FSSE), were honoured to have participated in a forum at the United Nations in Macao (the UNU in Macao). Discovering that the yellow elegant building in the Estrada do Engenheiro Trigo is the UNU in Macao, entirely intrigued the students to be strongly involved in the discussion.
Professionals from different fields in the UN shared their current research projects. Dr. Jingbo Huang, the director of the UNU in Macao, introduced their Institute. Research team in the UNU in Macao gave a presentation about their research, including Dr. Hannah Thinyane and Mikael Gallo, Migrant Technology research; Dr. Mamello Thinyane, Cyber-resilience research; and Dr. Serge Stinckwich, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Members of the UNU research team emphasised the role of social workers in contributing to solving forced labour and human trafficking problems in Macao and around the world. They explained that social workers could serve as a front line of the professionals who can identify the victims of the human trafficking, as well as being service providers for victims.
Next, the topic of cyber protection brought interest to our students and boost willingness of USJ students to be a part of research and designing process of appropriate cyber resilience platform in Macao. Another talk that created a discussion among the students and the project was Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students showed interest in this area of research and discussed how AI can be helpful for the vulnerable population of children and elderly.
This visit was a stepping stone to building strong collaboration between the Department of Social Work and the UNU in Macao. Through the discussion with the UNU in Macao, USJ students got a better understand about the process of working together in promoting the 17 SDGs, where some share a common mission with the social work professions and how this partnership can encourage data-driven and evidence-based actions and policies to achieve theSDGs.
On March 4, 2021, Prof. Rochelle Ge from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education (FSSE) and Year 1 students of Bachelor of Education visited theChu Kwong Center.
Established in April 1995, Chu Kwong Center is affiliated with the Association of Parents of the People with Intellectual Disabilities of Macau. It offers daycare and professional therapies (i.e., occupational, speech and physical therapy) to children with special educational needs (SEN). For more than two decades, the Center played an important role in supporting families with children with SEN in Macao, and devoted to the collaboration between family, school and community.
As future teachers, students from FSSE have shown great interest in services and training that are related with inclusive education. This visit taught them how associations in Macao are involved in supporting the development of children with SEN.
During the visit, staff of the Centre introduced their services and shared their experience and practical skills, including the functions of various facilities. Students were able to have a better understanding of the daily life needs of children with SEN and their families. They also expressed their willingness to participate in related volunteering activities and services.
In 2020, the pandemic’s reach extends past physical health impacts. Coping with the new normal has been a major task for everyone, though the psychological aspect has been understated as most of the attention is directed toward material helping.
In light of these risks, Prof. Ning Tang, Head of the Department of Social Work and Programme Coordinator for the Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Social Work of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), was quick to respond by providing psychological first aid training alongside various webinars to professionals in early 2020.
Prof. Ning Tang came across a book titled "Disastershock", which provides practical exercises to reduce disaster-related stress and enhance coping skills for parents, adults, and children. Identifying the book as an important resource, Prof. Ning Tang partnered with Dawning Consulting and Macao Caritas to produce Mandarin and Cantonese translations in during April and May, 2020.
The e-book "Disastershock" can be downloaded for free here.

The "USJ Blood Drive", co-organised by the Macao Blood Transfusion Service, was held in the Ilha Verde Campus on February 8, 2021. Students and staff members participated in this meaningful blood donation event and contributed to the blood supply for the Macau local hospitals.
The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) has been advocating and organising blood drive events on-campus since 2010, bringing awareness to the students and staff on the importance of blood donation.
On the 16th of March 2021, Mr. Jerry U (U Seng Hei), Bachelor of Design alumnus of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Department of Creative Industries, was issued with a Registered Design Intellectual Property Certificate for his graduation project. The Patent was granted by the "China National Intellectual Property Administration".
The graduation project titled “M3 BOX” is multifunctional furniture that can unfold into a dining table, a workstation, or a coffee table.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)were proposed by the United Nations (UN) as an action plan to address complex social, economic, and environmental problems. The University of Saint Joseph is committed to doing its part, but recognises that we cannot do it alone, we need to establish partnerships to help us better contribute to tacking these issues.
The SDG accord is part of the university and college sector’s response to the global goals. So far 221educational instructions, and 46 student associations from around the world have signed the accord. This network is facilitated by the Environmental Association for Universites and Colleges (EAUC), and supports topical discussion, wide collaboration and rapid communications, providing a means to share experiences, enhance collaboration, aid research, make new contacts and keep up to date with advancements in the SDG field.
The purpose of the SDG Accord is first, to inspire, celebrate and advance the critical role that education has in delivering SDG and the value it brings to governments, business and wider society. And secondly, to establish the commitment to do more to deliver the goals, to annually report on each signatory's progress, and to do so in ways which share the learning with each other education institutions, both nationally and internationally.
With that aim, we have shared data on our contributions to the different SDG for the first time this year; and we hope to continue to do so in the future. The results of data collected from signatories represent sector SDG reporting metrics that are presented at the annual UN High Level Political Forum.
Signing the SDG Accord marks our commitment to exchange knowledge and best practice to help embed SDGs in education.

Opening Ceremony cum Student Performances (30 Jan 2021)
The University of Saint Joseph (USJ), represented by the Vice-Rector for Internationalisation and Strategic Development, Prof. Álvaro Barbosa, participated in the webinar titled "Learning from global university SDG activities", hosted by the Times Higher Education’s Consultancy (THE) on the 20th January 2021, as a guest speaker and member of the panel.
The webinar marked the launch of THE Consultancy's work with Thailand’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) and 35 Thai university partners; and it aimed to share experiences of how other universities are supporting and using the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as a framework.
During the webinar, Prof. Álvaro Barbosa highlighted that tackling societal challenges can also be a good tool for increasing prospect students positively. “During our application process to the impact rankings we implemented measures and publish content that we planned to do anyway. However, it was done in a way that allows us to benchmark with other Universities. We consider the impact rankings as a platform for the exchange of knowledge on how to follow and apply the best Sustainable Development Practices.”
USJ is now applying to international ranking with THE Impact Rankings and is constantly demonstrating achievements in the United Nations SDGs. The USJ Environmental Action Programme and USJ Social Outreach Programme support staff and students in implementing this commitment.

Being recognised from the Scholarship programme,Daniel moves onto the second phase of the mixed-method research to study how drama-in-education is used by secondary TESOL teachers globally. This research will also give local TESOL teachers more practical ideas about drama-in-education as a creative pedagogy and, more importantly, an opportunity to reflect on their teaching philosophy via understanding their perceptions.
During the meeting, the Association introduced their planned activities, future developments plans, which include how their association support the development of trade between China and Portuguese speaking countries.

Moreover, “USJ is in, of and for Macao; in, of and for China”, therefore, we are committed to cultivating Macao’s future talents.
Covid-19 impacts our life and world dramatically. Scientists claim, that this situation might have been caused – among other factors – by a wrong treatment of nature by humans. Did nature put its brakes on to correct human behavior? Can we humans discover in nature how to act correctly? Does nature help us to get to know what to do? Philosophically speaking, should actions follow our being (agere sequitur esse), and is ethics fundamentally hooked up with reality and ontology? (bonum et verum convertuntur). Does the “ought” follow from the “is”, and should human life and societies comply with how things are?
After overcoming the mechanistic reductionism of the “natural fallacy”, which denies “value judgments” originating from “is” or facts, this Lecture Series attempts to trace back question of “natural goodness” (Philippa Foot), morals and good actions “in accord with reason” (S. Thomas Aquinas, S.Th. I-II.21.1.; ST I-II, 90.1). The philosophical and catholic tradition calls this the morality of the “natural law”. The lectures shed light on development and relevance of Natural Law from different philosophical and theological angles.
About the Talk & Speaker:
In his latest encyclical letter Fratelli Tutti (2020), Pope Francis observes that humanity is on a path of shared progress without a common roadmap (29). He also states that religions ought to serve the cause of fraternity in our world (271). This lecture explores the prospects for natural law theory to serve as a philosophical framework for world religions to unite in providing a moral compass for our globalised world.
Edmond Eh is Head of the Department of Philosophy. He teaches systematic philosophy in the Bachelor of Christian Studies programme and comparative philosophy in the Master of Philosophy programme at the Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy. He researches in comparative philosophy, especially the Aristotelian and Confucian traditions.
