Dr Sylvia LIU   Education Consultant
Dr Sylvia LIU is an education consultant and researcher.  She acquired her doctorate degree in Education (EdD) in the University of Hong Kong, focusing on gifted education and talent development. Dr Liu has been studying how interactive team games develop social-emotional learning and individual talents since 2004. One of the research contributions is the learning conceptual model, "Social Star Mirror Model" (「社交閃星星」) , which systematically uses interactive games to enhance social-emotional skills, and confirms that interactive games bring positive and sustainable results to gifted children and other school children on their social communication and self-discipline capabilities. Dr Liu successfully curated the "Pillars of Society" Project to train children with face-to-face interactive games. The scheme was funded by the Hong Kong Education Bureau's Quality Education Fund in 2006 and has been implemented in primary schools since then. In 2016, it was further subsidised to implement the "No Play No Gain" Kindergarten Social and Emotional Learning Project. From 2018, Dr Liu initiated a 3.5-year social-emotional learning - Jockey Club “Play n Gain” Project from kindergarten to the community. Dr Liu has been practising for decades in kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and universities. She is experienced in developing learning programmes for parent, teacher and student. She is enthusiastic about social services and is often invited to work as a game education consultant, design train-the-trainer programmes and coordinate projects. She is dedicated to develop the potential talents of children, the recent “EAR Communication” programme is the essence of her years’ studies and practice.
