About the Talk 關於講座
Students with Special Education Needs(SEN) refer to those who need special educational support due to learning or adjustment difficulties, including specific learning difficulties, speech and language impairment, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. It is important to support their individual differences in order to create an inclusive society. Mr. Fritz Pang, an experienced registered Educational Psychologist, has been working in this field for over 35 years. In 2005, he successfully developedthe“9 Strategies of Holistic Development 9S®”, an integrateddiagnosis andtreatment for those in need. In 2009, the “9S®” was awarded the first prize for outstanding thesis by the 2ndChinese Maternal and Child Health Conference. Since then, “9S®” has been widely used in the educational and social welfare field in Hong Kong.In 2016, Mr. Pang established New Horizons Life Planningunder the support of the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund) provided by the HKSAR Government. With the application of “9S®” and multiple teaching strategies, the presentation willanalyze measureswhichcan be used to cater for the needs of SEN students while exploring their potential future pathways.
特殊教育需要學生包括:特殊學習障礙、言語障礙、智力障礙及自閉症譜系障礙。要創造一個共融社會,認識和支援他們的個別差異尤其重要。資深註冊教育心理學家彭智華先生從事特殊教育工作逾35年,對有特殊教育需要的學生及其老師、家長的需要有深入了解。彭先生於2005年研發《全腦開發九攻略®》簡稱9S,揉合多種治療方法,有效制定並提供全方位及多元化的治療計劃。2009年,《全腦開發九攻略®》論文獲第二屆中華婦幼健康大會評為優秀論文一等獎。9S策略現時廣為香港教育界及社會福利界所採用,幫助有特殊教育需要的學生得到最適切的支援。2016年,彭先生在香港政府社會創新及創業發展基金(社創基金)的支持下創立新領域生涯規劃,積極協助特殊需要學童及人士開展生涯規劃。講座將會透過9S以及加減乘除的教學策略,全面解讀特殊需要學生的學習需要以及未來路向,從而尋找及探索能更有效地支援他們的各種方法。

TIME: 10:30 ~ 12:00
VENUE: Library Multi-purpose room, University of Saint Joseph (Ilha Verde Campus)
Our University Library is organising an event entitled "Life Library"; to raise the awareness of young generations for the role and impact a Library can have in their lives. We would like our community to understand that a Library is not only about books but people.
The primary purpose of this event is to create the opportunity and space for people to exchange their life experiences to others in an equal, respectful and informal environment. Secondly, to position or reposition the Library’s secure and healthy environment in their daily lives where they can learn, of course, and also where they can feel free to express their opinions and discuss their passions and motivations.

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) held its annual Open Day at the Ilha Verde Campus from 3:30pm to 6:00pm on April 13th to provide an opportunity for the general public, in particular, secondary school students and parents, to learn more about the learning environment and admissions process of the University.
The Opening Ceremony was held at 2:30pm and was followed by a guided campus tour. The ceremony was officiated by the Most Reverend Bishop Stephen Lee Bun Sang, Bishop of the Diocese of Macao and Chancellor of USJ; and Prof. Fr. Peter Stilwell, Rector of USJ. Distinguished guests included Mr. Hong Bo, Director of Department of Education and Youth Affairs of the Liaison Office; Mr. Sam Hio Tong, Division Head of the Resources and Student Welfare Division of the Higher Education Bureau; Mr. Sit Weng Tou, Division Head of the Socio-Educational Aids Division of the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau; Mr. Leong Ka Fai, Division Head of the Professional Development and Planning Division of the Social Welfare Bureau and Fr. Luís Sequeira, Member of General Council and Supervisory Board of the Catholic Foundation for Higher Education.
During the Open Day, booths with information and activities, as well as students’ works were exhibited to showcase the diversity of our academic programmes and the campus’ overall environment. Participants also experienced what it would be like to study at USJ by using its different studios and production labs. This year, USJ extended its campus tour to the Residential Hall, which includes USJ’s Fitness Room and Recreational Corner.
The University’s professors, staff and students, of over 40 nationalities, arranged different cultural experiences for visitors, including booth games, workshops and experiments. Teaching and learning facilities were open to the public for a glimpse of campus life, and around 235 visitors enjoyed an afternoon in the colourful and international environment of USJ.
From April 12th until April 27th, Dixon Lai, a graduating student of the Faculty of Creative Industries, is holding his Graduation Achievement Exhibition at the Kent Wong Exhibition Gallery. Visitors are welcome to visit the exhibition during the opening hours of USJ Library.

The Faculty of Creative Industries has collaborated with the Macao Museum of Art and the British Museum for the exhibition “Italian Renaissance Drawings from the British Museum” that officially opened on Thursday, the 11th of April, and will run until the 30th of June.
The University of Saint Joseph was thrilled with this opportunity to be part of this innovative and ambitious project, as well as, honoured to work “alongside” artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Raffaello or Michelangelo to list just a few of them! Our collaboration work is not comparable with the work of The Italian Masters, and we merely hope to open new perspectives on art in museums and offer a different experience to its visitors.
An experience that disrupts the traditional way of visiting a museum. An experience that immerses and permits the visitor a tangible and accessible involvement with part of the exhibition.
Museums around the world have always been open to new technological experimentations and avid of new ways to enrich and showcase their artworks and collections to a new public. It is often an opportunity to look with a different eye, to discover new artistic connections and to experience an artwork like never before.
We see our work presented as the first step in a new type of experimentation, that will teach us and lead us further to new possibles, particularly in the area of universal access and accessibility. Indeed, like any other social organisation, museums have a significant challenge to transform themselves to be more inclusive, and we hope to participate in discussion with this experiment and research.
From the very beginning, we agreed on a few rules that we have been trying to respect along with our work:
- we selected 16 drawings from the British Museum exhibition and we worked on representing them as a physical and tangible object;
- we wanted, as much as possible, visitors to be able to touch the exhibits, as a symbol, to make the exhibits accessible and;
- allow universal accessibility, mainly by trying to give a new experience of the exhibition to visually impaired visitors;
- all exhibits would be produced in Macao with technologies that are currently available in our Digital Fabrication Laboratory of our Faculty of Creative Industries and the support of some of our students.
To give a few numbers to represent the work, we spend more than 2,000 hours of machine time and more than 600 working hours.
For all exhibits, we have been using two essential techniques, namely 3D Printing and Laser cutting and we follow a similar workflow for each piece:
- cleaning the original image of the drawing (removing the background, outlining, enhancing, etc...);
- transforming the drawing into a new image or a 3D model that can be processed by our machines;
- multiple tests usually take place before producing the final exhibits with the machine;
- post-processing the exhibits: we mainly use standard woodworking post-processing such as sanding, priming, painting and varnishing.

From March 28th to March 30th, 2019, Prof. Álvaro Barbosa presented the closing Keynote Speech at the International Conference on "Interculturalism and Multiculturalism" organised by the Centre for Intercultural Studies (CEI) at the Polytechnic of Porto (P.PORTO), in Portugal.
The talk was on the topic of Multicultural Perceptions of Sound Universes, addressing how communities around the world associate dimensions of acoustic space to their contextual soundscapes, musical traditions or in a broader sense what could be referred to as its “Sound Universes”.
During the presentation, Prof. Barbosa introduced research and practices that address this topic in domains such as Film Sound Analysis, Auditory Iconography, Collaborative Music Performance and Computational Analysis of World Music.

From March 4th to March 9th, 2019, the Vice-Rector for Strategic Development and Outreach of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), Prof. Álvaro Barbosa, represented USJ at an international seminar on “Internationalisation, Innovation and Sustainable Development” in Lille (France). The event was organised by the Université Catholique de Lille (UCL), our partner university, and held at UCL’s campus.
The week included sessions on UCL’s innovation projects, a presentation of their on-campus green and sustainable development facilities (“Live Tree Project”), as well as an exchange of best practices on intercultural communication and experience sharing regarding innovative teaching methods.
The event was fruitful, having been a great platform to further develop USJ’s global network, as well as a great learning opportunity to acquire information that will contribute to the enhancement of USJ’s strategies when it comes to the areas of internationalisation, innovation and sustainable development.

“Paper Conservation - The Application of Manual Dripping Method with Paper Pulp”
The manual dripping method with paper pulp is a kind of filling technique for conserving paper objects. Compared with the traditional paper repair method, this method is more suitable for conserving objects which have been seriously damaged and/or with lots of insect holes. Efficiency, flatness and reduced use of paste are part of this method’s benefits.
This lecture will introduce the development and application of the pulp repair technique in Mainland China and foreign countries. Additionally, the lecture will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of four different repair methods, namely, traditional paper repair method, paper pulp manual dripping method, semi-mechanical pulp repair method and leaf-casting method.
“Introduction to Heritage Conservation Science”
We hear words like culture, heritage, conservation, restoration, etc., every day, but do we fully understand their meaning? An explanation of these terms is shared with the audience throughout this lecture. The lecture mainly outlines what culture, cultural heritage, and tangible and intangible cultural heritage are; how to preserve them; and introduces the types of conservation in different museums. Finally, the daily workload of an object conservator will be discussed.
The purpose is to provide Macao citizens with a preliminary understanding of the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage, hopefully increasing the public’s awareness and interest in cultural heritage as a means to achieve sustainable development.
“Paper Splitting - Its Development, Technique and Application”
Paper splitting involves splitting the paper into two layers and adding a thin piece of acid-free paper in between to create a “sandwich” structure. This method is especially suitable for severely deteriorated paper. The advantage of using this method is that it does not affect the object’s appearance and fragile paper objects can be well conserved. Paper splitting is often used to conserve and reinforce archives and rare books that are severely embrittled, such as old newspapers.
There are two types of paper splitting methods: machine splitting and manual splitting. The principle of these two methods are similar and the only difference is that manual splitting must be done by a skilled person. Because of a high risk of irreversible damaging the original paper object, conservation ethics of the paper splitting will be discussed.

In past years, students and professors have been invited by the Macao Institute of Financial Services to participate in the annual Global Money Week. This year, on March 28, students of School of Business and Law were invited to visit the Monetary Authority of Macao (AMCM).
Students of the Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Government Studies had learned about the monetary system and the role of the central bank in Prof. Florence Lei’s Macroeconomics class. Thus, the presentation given by AMCM staff and their interaction with the students during the Q&A session broadened and deepened students’ financial knowledge.

On March 20th, 2019, to further experiment the local culture, the Public and International Relations Office took the Spring Semester International Exchange Students for dinner at the “Estabelecimento de Comidas Si Fu Chai (Ilha Verde)”, located near USJ's Ilha Verde Campus. A representative of the Office for Student and Alumni Affairs, that closely comes into contact with the students, also joined the dinner.
Students had the opportunity to try traditional dishes like “deep-fried Bombay duck with peppercorn salt”, “sweet and sour pork” and “deep-fried crab meat box”, while experiencing dining like a local.
The dinner was kindly sponsored by the Macao Foundation.

On March 21st 2019, 11 participants from the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) and Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA) representatives took part in a seminar by Executives from the Sands Sustainability Department in The Parisian Macao.
Participants were able to discuss sustainability issues directly with the executives and learn sustainable practices by Sands (China) such as ECO360 and Green Monday.
They also learned about energy and water saving strategies that have guaranteed several accreditations and certifications to Sands' hotels (Macao Green Hotel Award, LEED Silver certificate, among others).
After the seminar, participants visited their recycling facilities, and observed the function of a food digester machine that converts food waste into non-potable water, which can then be disposed via the sewers.
