Foreword from Community of Practice (CoP) on
Developing, Recognising and Rewarding Excellent Teaching
"What will it take to educate the next generation of thought-leaders for a complicated world?"
This 6 weeks exhibition (1 Dec 2014 -16 Jan 2015), generously hosted in our library, centres around this burning question. It is an important question in the midst of an ever changing fast paced world filled with contradictions, ambiguity, uncertainty, increasing competing demands and immense opportunities. As you enter the library, you will see 11 columns at various locations showcasing answers to this burning question from key stakeholders of PolyU (teachers, researchers, administrators and industry leaders) and from international scholars from leading universities around the world.
Please visit as many of these exhibition columns as you can, and take a moment to pause and reflect on the answers. At the end of three weeks, we will post a fresh set of answers for your contemplation. Students are also encouraged to provide their answers to this burning question by visiting the following website: http://goo.gl/forms/KqOWkPX7XZ (the first 80 thought-provoking replies will each receive a $50 cash coupon from Habitu Cafe).
We believe this exhibition has the power to captivate the imagination and inspire us all to work together to help make this world a better place.

| Educating Tomorrow's Thought-Leaders: Distinguished Scholars Answer a Burning Question |
It was an unashamedly simple and courageous plan: Approach leading scholars from around the world and see if they would take up the challenge to answer a burning question (within 200-300 words): “What will it take to educate the next generation of thought-leaders for a complicated world?”. As you will see in the pages that follow, the response has been overwhelming and we owe them all our deepest gratitude!
