On December 14^th 2018, the Council for the Promotion of Guangdong – Hong Kong and Macao Cooperation reelected its members and executives during its General Assembly. Furthermore, University of Saint Joseph was mentioned for the successful organization of the Delegation’s visit to Portugal and Spain, which took place from June 30^th 2018 to July 7^th 2018.

This was the result of work done by USJ senior lecturer; Emil Marques who was elected this term as an Executive Board Member of the council.  The report also featured the meeting of USJ Vice Rector Prof. Alvaro Barbosa with Alberto Carvalho Neto, President of the Portugal – China Young Entrepreneurs Association and Delegation members during their visit to Porto. The delegation understands USJ’s international education experience and capacity and hopes USJ can explore opportunities for further Sino – Luso education collaborations between Portugal and Macao to benefit the Great Bay Area. The meeting laid foundations for future collaborations between the arts and cultural committee of the Council and USJ, which promises future Portuguese and Chinese cultural interaction and exchange.

On Dec 7, 2018, School of Education - University of Saint Joseph hosted the first seminar on Arts Education with The International Society for Education Through Art (InSEA), a world famous non-governmental arts organisation for educators and an official partner of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization UNESCO): More than 60 educators and local primary school children attended the InSEA workshops and seminar. The President of InSEA, Teresa Torres de Eça; Angela Saldanha and Prof. Steve Willis brought us examples of art education theory and praxis from Europe and North America, integrating core questions about the role of the arts, specially the visual arts, in formal and non-formal education and possible developments of art education in the context of the sustainable development goals.  Further collaborations with InSEA will be developed to promote international arts education and research collaboration.

A group of students of Master of Environmental Science and Management (MES), one PhD in Science and Alumni family members visited on December 10^th2018 the Eco-Park in Tuen Mun in Hong Kong under the supervisions of Prof. Franz Gassner. The first stop was the new Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Treatment and Recycling Facility of the Hong Kong Government, called WEEE-Park. WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and it is the fastest growing waste steam globally. The HK Government commissioned a German company (ALBA Integrated Waste Solutions) to design, build and operate this facility to treat 30-50 tons of WEEE per day out of the 190 tons accumulated every day (70.000 tons per year). The facility adopts advanced technologies and equipment for treating waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and recovering precious resources such as plastics and metals through a series of detoxification, dismantling and recycling processes.  The USJ Students were especially eager to know more about the waste producer responsibility scheme on WEEE that will be fully implemented in Hong Kong on Dec. 31^st2018. Since August 1^st2018 all sellers of air-conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, computers, printers, scanners and monitors have to arrange for consumers a free removal service to collect the same type of equipment abandoned by a consumer by a specified collector for proper treatment by a licensed recycler. Through the removal service, the consumer can request the seller to remove the old piece of equipment for free on a "one-piece-to-one-piece" basis.

The second stop in Tuen Mun was the ECO-PARK Visitor Center with educational facilities on energy and resource responsibility, waste avoidance, reduction, and recycling. Eight educational zones – including a Waste Corridor, a Movie Area, a 3-D Landfill Model, 3Rs Zone, Reflection Pond, Group Game Zone, and Plastic Recycling Education Centre – deepen the understanding of municipal solid waste management, resource responsibility, and a more sustainable life-style.

On the 30th of November 2018, our 3rd-year student of fashion design, Alina Garcia, was awarded the silver prize (second place) in the CPTTM 3D design contest. Alina Garcia’s design was inspired by the 3D animation movie "Spirited Away" (2001) directed by one of the greatest Japanese animation moviemaker Miyazaki Hayao. Her design refers to a world of fantasy that actually reflects uncertainties in the realistic world during "The lost decade" in Japan (2001-2010).  Alina says that “people tend to go for astrology when facing uncertainties” and she adds: “geometric shapes were applied in the design since they are mostly used in astrology and symbolizes opportunities and hopes”. The design speaks "Where there is a will, there is a way".The Award Ceremony was held on the 30th of November 2018 at the CPPTM Head Office Auditorium, in Macau.

Dr. Stephen Morgan, opened the day with an inaugural lecture on the relevance and relation of faith and reason and the specific role of the university as community which exists, as Bl. John Henry Newman put it, to "learn to reason well in all matters".

Bishop Stephen Lee, Chancellor of USJ, celebrated the Holy Mass for the feast of St John Danascene with the whole Faculty and University Officials, among them Prof. Fr. Rector Peter Stilwell, Vice-Rector Prof. Álvaro Barbosa, Acting Vice-Rector Prof. Rochelle Ge, and the Dean of the School of Business, Prof. Jenny Lao-Phillips.
