Abstract

This chapter examines service learning and social innovation initiatives for higher education institutions (HEIs) in Singapore and Hong Kong. It is reported that the service learning and social innovation initiatives for HEIs in both cities are varied, substantial, and robust. Underpinning and influencing the design, planning and enactment of these initiatives is the value of collectivism that prevails in Confucian Heritage Cultures. This chapter also highlights some common challenges for service learning and social innovation initiatives for HEIs in Singapore and Hong Kong.
