In September 2025, SouLight proudly introduced the Peace In & Peace Out Youth Peace Education Programme, designed to help young people rediscover calm and compassion amid today’s fast-paced world.

By blending Peace Studies and Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the programme encourages youth to explore their inner world—transforming anxiety, fear, and anger into understanding and care. Dr. Chow personally visited participating schools, guiding teachers in bringing peace education to life.

Schools shared heartwarming feedback—students felt more present, empathetic, and genuinely connected to their inner selves.

🌱 Join us in helping more young people live peacefully, from the inside out.

At the 21st Century Education Forum 2025, SouLight led the session on Mind Body Spirit Wellbeing in partnership with educators and NGOs.

Dr. Chow Wai Yin spoke on the transformative impact of compassionate teaching, while the immersive “游沐” (You Muk) workshop invited teachers to experience nature’s calming and restorative energy.

Through creative activities, participants discovered new ways to nurture students’ emotional health and resilience.

💡 A heartfelt thank‑you to everyone whose passion keeps wellbeing education shining bright!

On 24 August 2024, SouLight took part in the SOS School Mental Health Fund Community Interaction Day at Citywalk 2, co-organised by Wofoo Social Enterprises and @thewellnessjourney.hk.

We showcased our Peace Education Pilot Programme and demonstrated how Acceptance, Compassion, and Transcendence foster calmness, empathy, and resilience in the face of stress, depression, and bullying.

Having supported over 1,200 secondary students, this event became a meaningful exchange among educators, social workers, and parents—united in building whole-school wellbeing.
💚 Let’s continue creating compassionate, inclusive schools together.

With support from the Sustainable Knowledge Transfer Project Fund (S‑KPF 2024–2026), we officially established the SouLight Spiritual Education Centre, guided by our mission: “Care for Our Souls, Craft a Brighter Community.”

SouLight’s collaborations expanded with the Education Bureau, NGOs, and social enterprises, bridging education, religion, and psychology. On CUHK’s campus, we introduced the Labyrinth for Mindful Walking—the first of its kind among Hong Kong universities—where students and visitors could pause, breathe, and find serenity amid daily stress.

Building on this success, SouLight received CUHK’s Knowledge Transfer Project Fund (KPF)to further integrate wellbeing and experiential learning into classrooms.

Our sessions featured singing bowl therapy, role-play, poetry, and mindfulness, all designed to help students ground their emotions and connect through empathy. Guided by tutors Cheetah Chak and Pamela Suen, students described feeling spiritually lighter, more centred, and free from academic pressure.

This stage deepened our belief in storytelling as a force of healing and transformation—even in Hong Kong’s fast-paced classrooms, compassion can truly flourish.

Our story began with a heartfelt initiative from CUHK’s Department of Cultural and Religious Studies, led by Dr. Chow Wai Yin. The team launched the Inner Peace & Outer Peace: Narrative Approach to Peace Education pilot in Hong Kong secondary schools to address teen challenges such as emotional distress, depression, bullying, and suicide.

Through storytelling inspired by religious narratives, the programme guided students toward Acceptance, Compassion, and Transcendence (ACT values). The results were inspiring—youth reported calmer minds, richer peace awareness, and improved relationships. Over 1,200 S2–S6 students participated, sparking growing interest across schools.
