On 20 November 2019, 27 Social Work students from South China Normal University visited University of Saint Joseph(USJ)'s Ilha Verde campus. The group was led by Professor Yu Bing, the coordinator of the Field Work of Social Work Department, and Professor Li Qiao Ming. USJ Social Work year 4 students welcomed the visitors and guided a campus tour before they all gathered in a classroom to share their knowledge and experiences of social work profession in Guangzhou and Macau. A simple Macau-style lunch was served. All faculty members from Faculty of Social Sciences(FSS) joined the gathering and welcomed the visitors. The dean of FSS, Professor Vitor Teixeira gave a welcome speech and a brief introduction of FSS and their Social Work Department. Professor Yu expressed her appreciation for the warm reception and invited USJ social work students to visit South China Normal University someday. The visit served as a platform of exchange in between the social work students of the two universities. This event was sponsored under the projects of the Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA) given by the Macao Foundation.

“Cook For Me!” series of activities, organised by the University’s Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA) and PichaEats, co-organised by Candle Light Macau and Hey Hey (Canteen), was held at the University of Saint Joseph’s Ilha Verde Campus on 20 and 21 November 2019.

In response to the World Day of the Poor, “Serving the Needy” was held on 20 November. Around 110 participants including students, staff and volunteers from Candle Light Macau served the dinner and had dialogue with people in need in our Canteen. It was like a family reunion among the participants.

A seminar titled "Changing the World through Entrepreneurship" was held at USJ Ilha Verde Campus on 21 November’s evening. Ms. Hoi Tong Mui, Acting Department Head of Students of the Higher Education Bureau of Macau SAR government; Ms. Terry Kuok, President of the Candle Light Macau; Mr. Paul Pun, Secretary General of Caritas Macau; Ms. Jennifer Chau, Director of Fu Hong Society of Macao; Mr. Francisco Lio, Director of Diocese Social Communication Center; Prof Álvaro Barbosa, Vice Rector of University of Saint Joseph; and Prof Jenny Lao Phillips, Dean of the School of Business and Law participated the seminar by invitation.

The guest speaker Miss Suzanne Ling is the co-founder for PichaEats, a social enterprise in Malaysia that serves great food and rebuilds lives at the same time, which was announced as the national winner for Chivas Venture, and Top 5 finalists in the global round. Suzanne and her co-founders have also listened under Forbes 30 under 30 2018: Social Entrepreneurs, and The Edge Inspiring Young Leaders Award 2017.

Suzanne introduced how PichaEats partnered with refugee chefs and served food to events and conferences. The PichaEats has successfully changed the reasons for buying their food and service from helping the quality of refugee's food and at the same time to rebuild their lives. She also introduced the definition of social enterprises, the business model of PichaEats as well as the strategies of running their business during the seminar. It has a positive impact on audiences.

ABOUT THE TALK

Anthropogenic activities are causing global climate change at an unprecedented rate. The uptake of additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is changing ocean chemistry, with potentially far-reaching impacts on marine life. There is a great concern that the environmental change is outpacing the rate of genetic adaptation. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that some responses can be plastic but also heritable across generations. Over the past years Prof. Celia has been investigating the impacts of ocean acidification on marine fishes through experiments, molecular work and computational analyses. Unique transgenerational experiments were performed to determine the molecular response of a coral reef fish to short-term, developmental and transgenerational exposure to near future elevated CO2. This aids in teasing apart plastic responses due to developmental plasticity and reveals within-generation specific reactions to be driven by epigenetic regulators. Importantly, it was found that altered gene expression for the majority of within-generation responses returns to baseline levels following parental exposure to elevated CO2 conditions. Furthermore, molecular responses of offspring vary largely with parental phenotype which was measured by their level of behavioural tolerance to elevated CO2. In this talk, some of the experiments of the last years will be shown with the presentation of some unpublished data of studies from the wild. The aim is to further understand behaviour and adaptive potential of marine organisms to the rapidly changing environment.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Celia Schunter, coming from a land-locked place, was always fascinated by the marine world. Early in her career, she started combining the study of marine organisms with genetic and molecular tools. She received her BSc in Marine Biology from James Cook University, Australia and her Masters and Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Barcelona, Spain. During her Postdoc at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, she used functional genomics to understand the effects of ocean acidification on fish within and across generations. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Swire Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, where her laboratory continues to explore impacts of climate change on behaviour and population dynamics of marine organisms, including the underlying molecular mechanisms of adaptation.

The Rector of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), Prof. Fr. Peter Stilwell, and the Director of the Public and International Relations (PIRO), Mrs. Ana Paula Mota, attended the 2019 International Conference “Transforming Higher Education for the Future” organised by the International Association of Universities (IAU). The event was hosted by the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), in Mexico, from November 13th to 15th, 2019.

This international conference was dedicated to exploring how higher education leaders envisage higher education for the future, namely how universities should face the impact of rapid technological progress and the urgent call to develop sustainable societies.

The four plenary sessions covered: I “Rethinking higher education in a transforming world”; II “Between tradition and innovation”; III “Aiming higher in a transforming world”; and IV “Creating the future for higher education (designing solutions)”. Following each plenary session, breakout meetings studied detailed aspects of these challenges and afforded opportunities for networking and documentation sharing between institutions.

During plenary session III (“Aiming higher in a transforming world”), BBC StoryWorks officially launched its new series promoting the role of higher education as a catalyst for developing sustainable societies. This documentary series, developed in cooperation with IAU, spotlights exciting university projects making a positive change in their communities by promoting diversity, leadership and social responsibility. USJ was among the 35 universities from 30 countries selected for this project. The three-minute films provide a captivating patchwork illustration of the essential contribution being made by higher education to social development worldwide. The new portal is available here and the mini-documentary on USJ is under the heading “Leadership”.

Mr. Warren Man Ho LI (李文灝), a USJ PhD Student in Science, gave a presentation at the high level International Workshop on Food Loss and Waste Prevention targeting the Southeast and East Asian region from Oct. 16^th-18^th 2019, Tokyo, Japan. The workshop was organised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan as the current G20 presidency holder, FAO Japan Liaison Office, UN Environment and the Thünen Institute (Germany).

Mr. Warren gave his presentation in Session 3 of the Workshop: Legal Challenges and Policy Options, with the title “Legal Compliance and Implementation of the Circular Economy for Food Waste Reduction & Handling in Macau and Hong Kong.” The overall aim of the workshop was to support the delivery of Target 12.3 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which demands to halve food waste at retail and consumer level, and reducing food loss across the supply chain. The 30 participants from various South-East Asian countries were seeking ways to raise awareness in their specific communities and to facilitate increased cooperation and network building among countries in Asia with respect to sharing knowledge and experiences in measuring and reducing Food Loss and Waste (FLW) at all levels. Providing guidance on setting baselines and measuring progress on FLW, defining strategies on FLW reduction, developing effective actions targeting households and the supply chain, and using FLW to raise ambition on greenhouse gas reduction. Food production accounts globally for 24 % of overall Greenhouse Gas Emissions (ICCP 2019), and the global emissions of FLW taken as country come in 3^rd after China and the US. Food Waste Prevention is also a serious social issue, as today 820 million people in the world are still hungry, underscoring the immense challenge of achieving the UN Zero Hunger target by 2030.

Mr. Warren Man Ho LI (李文灝) is a USJ PhD student in Science, pursuing research on “COP21 Compliance and Sustainable Development through Integrated Solid Waste Management: Implementation of the Circular Economy in the Pearl River Delta Area.” (supervised by Prof. Franz Gassner). He is also working as General Manager of Ultra Clean Waste Services Limited of Macao, China.

A number of studies focus on the evangelical and missionary role by the members of the Society of Jesus in the Latin American and Asian frontiers.  The speaker will use the GECEM Database (“Global Encounters between China and Europe Project) to compare two Jesuit mission areas and its role in the global commercial routes. First, he will focus on the Jesuit activities in the Philippines, and their links with Macao, Canton and Acapulco (New Spain). Second, he shall explain the commercial routes between Jesuit Missions in Paraguay and Buenos Aires, Asunción up to Río de Janeiro. Both case studies will show us how these non-state agents - the Jesuits - built their own networks and exchange channels for Chinese goods distribution (i.e. silk, porcelain, musk, amber and others) between Asia and Latin America.  Thus, the local scale scheme of Jesuit studies will be integrated with analysis of inter-regional processes on a continental scale by using mainly Jesuit letters, regulations, reports, accounts and stories. The underlying hypothesis is that the Jesuits were active agents in the circulation of the Chinese goods and encouraged their consumption among local populations throughout the Latin America.

ABOUT THE TALK

The story of women in film (both as subject and object) has been wildly disregarded in Portuguese cinematic culture. Ana Sofia Pereira and Vera Casaca, both storytellers, both screenwriters, both women in film, will bring a new insight into the reality women in Portuguese cinematic culture face. Ana Sofia Pereira will use the research she has conducted on women screenwriters and directors in Portugal as a starting point to expand on how women have influenced Portuguese cinematic History and the films and characters created. Vera Casaca will depart from her real-life experience as a filmmaker to discuss the reality of working in cinema upon returning to her hometown. She will focus on the hardships she found, not only as a woman, but as a southerner and as a filmmaker working with no/low budget films.

Exploring and discussing Portuguese cinematic History through a feminine perspective, this public lecture aims to grant a voice to Portuguese women filmmakers that, up until recently, have been rendered invisible and voiceless.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Ana Sofia Pereira has just submitted her PhD on the topic "Women Screenwriters: A Dynamic Definition of Language in the Feminine in Portuguese Cinema". Besides her work as a researcher and lecturer, she is also a screenwriter and script supervisor having worked in countries such as Portugal, United States and Brazil. Her latest work includes a TV-Series that premiered in one of Portugal’s major networks early in 2019.

Vera Casaca has studied directing and scriptwriting at the School of Visual Arts and at the New York Film Academy in New York. She has written and directed “On the Phone with God” and “If Poirot was here”. She contributes to the cultural magazine “Algarve Informativo” with articles about cinema. She teaches scriptwriting, storyboard and continuity in Portugal.

The Public and International Relations Office (PIRO) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) organised three groups of colleagues from various administrative units and from the University’s Institute of Science and Environment to participate in the 10^th Edition of Macau Eco TrailHiker. The event, which took place on Saturday, November 2^nd, 2019, had around 2,600 participants and 650 teams competing in three race categories. In these races, participants ran along different natural trails in Coloane, exploring the greener side of Macao. USJ’s teams participated in the 20km corporate challenge as well as the 10km fun family course.

By participating in this initiative, relationships amongst colleagues were strengthened and public awareness of ecological and environmental issues and the need for an eco-friendlier lifestyle in Macao was raised. Additionally, the raised funds will go into supporting the operational expenses of community event beneficiaries, such as The Cradle of Hope Association and the Salvation Army – Hong Kong and Macau Command.

As a way of strengthening the University's mission and enacting its strategic objectives, the Public and International Relations Office (PIRO) organised an Internationalisation Week from October 28th until November 1st, 2019. It counted with the support of the University's Senior Management and guest facilitator and speaker Mrs Magda Ferro, Head of the International Relations Office of the Porto Regional Centre of Universidade Católica Portuguesa.

The Internationalisation Week included: “Internationalisation and Good Practices” and “Embracing Diversity” staff workshops, the first for administrative staff and the latter for heads of administrative units; a meeting with the heads of administrative units to discuss current practices and how to further improve services; and the “Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions: Drivers and Tools” Public Lecture, where a managerial approach was explored and the USJ Community and general public were welcome to attend.

The workshops’ participants had the opportunity of reflecting through facilitated games, and the discussions that resulted from them, which aimed highlighting the challenges and opportunities for internationalisation in the context of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The workshops provided tools for participants' reflection on the role they play in the services that contribute to an inclusive multicultural University and how best practices can be benchmarked at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), regardless of individual differences and culture or ethnicity. Additionally, the public lecture addressed the management principles in internationalisation, its rationales, the Systematic Process - Multi-Level Analysis Model, and the identification and selection of internationalisation tools best suited for the specific goals of the HEI.

USJ endeavours to organise future similar initiatives, recognising the importance of internationalisation and the value of all University units in its strengthening.
