Summary:

"In Hong Kong, with the financial support of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, five universities worked together to develop a positive youth development program entitled "P.A.T.H.S. to Adulthood" (Project P.A.T.H.S.). In this project, the research team developed curricula-based materials for junior secondary school students, trained the potential program implementers, provided support for the implementation (such as conducting visits and workshops to support the teachers), and conducted evaluation of the program using multiple evaluation methods. Because of the remarkable achievements of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong, Tin Ka Ping Foundation provided funding to transplant the project to Mainland China in 2011. The pilot project from 2011 to 2014 was very successful and from 2015 to 2018, Tin Ka Ping P.A.T.H.S. Project was implemented in over thirty schools in mainland China. Based on the evaluation data collected, we can conclude that Tin Ka Ping P.A.T.H.S. Project made very positive impact in China. In this book we describe our project in Mainland China, the results and our thoughts and reflections for the future"-- Provided by publisher.
