This Capstone Project, titled "Empowering Senior Health Management and Social Care Students to Promote Traditional Chinese Medicine in Their Community," aimed to bridge the gap in public education regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) among younger generations and ethnic minority communities in Hong Kong. The project's significance is underscored by the growing interest in TCM among Hong Kong residents, coupled with the observed gaps in public education, especially among ethnic minorities who often lack access to TCM resources and knowledge. This issue has been highlighted by Fredie Hung, whose frontline work provides free TCM consultations to this underserved population. To address this gap, we collaborated with Salesians of Don Bosco Ng Siu Mui Secondary School and received assistance from Chinese Medicine For All in launching the "TCM Experiential Learning" program. The program comprised twelve hands-on sessions for eleven senior Health Management and Social Care students running from February to May 2024, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to promote TCM within their communities. The project objectives included enhancing TCM understanding, creating a community map of TCM service providers in Kwai Chung District, and empowering students to promote TCM during Campus Well-being Weeks.Through surveys and observations, the project demonstrated significant improvements in TCM knowledge and community engagement. Students actively promoted TCM during Campus Wellbeing Week, achieving high satisfaction rates, and the community map also served as a valuable resource, boosting awareness of local TCM options among students. These positives outcomes underscore the value of targeted public education initiatives in promoting cultural and health awareness, paving the way for greater TCM integration within diverse communities
