This year, the undergraduates decided to arrange a special programme, including not just a staycation at Pousada de Mong-H\u00e1, but also other elements, namely an alumni celebratory dinner, family photo sessions, craft and baking workshops, and a gigantic Monopoly game.<\/p>\n<p>The staycation activity was part of the students\u2019 coursework for their bachelor\u2019s degree programme. The project was supervised by IFTM Lecturer Mr. Billy Im Ut Lon, and aimed at giving undergraduates the knowledge and practical skills required to plan, organise and hold events. The importance of project management and on-site implementation was highlighted throughout the activity, from planning to budgeting, seeking sponsorship, venue setup and providing service.<\/p>\n<p>The student-organised hands-on project was part of IFTM\u2019s established, innovative approach to teaching, whereby theory and practice are integrated. The curriculum at the Institute emphasises project-based learning. Students are invited to experience real situations and confront real challenges by undertaking hands-on projects, thereby developing cross-curricular skills, while collaborating in groups.<\/p>\n<p>Support for the \u201cIFTM Alumnication 2022_Travels the Yore\u201d activity was provided by Lecturer Ms. Marieta Wong, from the Culinary Arts Management Bachelor\u2019s Degree Programme, as well as by Year 4 students from that programme, and members of the IFTM Culinary Arts Club.<\/p>\n<p>The net proceeds of the event will be donated to Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office, to support its community services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 2-day staycation activity, targeting IFTM alumni and their families, took place in late April at the Educational Hotel Pousada de Mong-H\u00e1. \u201cIFTM Alumnication 2022_Travels the Yore\u201d was organised by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":8295,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50,136],"tags":[85,2103,581,2104,149,2102,93],"class_list":["post-8294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-degrees-offered-in-english","category-main_headline","tag-alumni","tag-alumnication","tag-billy-im","tag-im-ut-lon","tag-pousada-de-mong-ha","tag-staycation","tag-tourism-event-management"],"views":1349,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8294"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8301,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8294\/revisions\/8301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
