老練沈轀展經綸 (LOU, tactful)
Displaying his tact and diplomacy in a marked degree,
柏木迎風氣凌雲 (PAK, cypress)
even facing opposing wind he stands tall like a cypress tree.
生就卓識領風進 (SANG, innate)
Taking the lead with his innate sagacity,
師毓德才桃李春 (our mentor)
he has nurtured and inspired numerous students of great ability.
老局長首先深入淺出地從自然環境、社會、經濟、科技發展等不同層面舉出事例，讓出席教師深刻體會21世紀急速變化的世界，深思未來的學生需要什麼知識、技能、態度及價值觀、教育系統如何可以有效發展等命題，讓在座教師得到很大的啟發。
Mr. Lou started with comparing the then-and-now of the environment, social behaviours, economy and technologies, to raise the awareness in the audience concerning such rapid changes all experienced without noticing, and to inspire the audience on what kind of knowledge, skillsets, attitudes, values we need to include in the effective development of our education system so as to truly benefit our students in preparing for the unpredictable future.
同時，老局長亦鼓勵教師須教導學生在資訊泛濫的社會中學會以正確、理性的思辨能力，辨別龐雜大量訊息的真偽，並為教師分析常見的思考謬誤。此外，老局長也勤喻在座教師向學生傳達修身處世、惜福感恩的生活態度，承擔建設社會的責任。最後，老局長引用教宗方濟各《願祢受讚頌》通諭作總結，勉勵所有教師以愛心因材施教，努力成為學生敬重的生命導師，教導學生以「手足情」和「微末心」愛惜我們共同愛護的家園。
Through analysing common types of fallacies, he also encouraged the audience to equip students with the ability of critical and rational thinking that helps to identify the authenticity of the vast information one can access. In addition, Mr. Lou further urged the teachers to diligently aid students in establishing an attitude of gratitude and morality, and in becoming responsible person in the society. He then concluded his sharing with the Encyclical "Laudato Si'" by Pope Francis, encouraging attending teachers to educate through love and conscientiousness, with an aim to become the lifelong mentor of the students and to lead each student to cherish our homes with love and care as in the Franciscan spirits of “fraternity” and “minority”.
講座輔以大量圖片及短片進行，參與講座的教師們都認為內容豐富而不枯燥，對於既輕鬆幽默又值得反思的演講內容，大家都全神灌注地細心聆聽。席上亦有出席者向老局長提問一些家長教育的問題，進行充分互動交流。
The training was delivered through mainly pictures and short clips, the audience mostly appreciated the rich contents and felt interested. Some teachers also expressed that everyone was listening with full attention as the covered topics were both entertaining and thought-provoking. In the Q&A session that followed, questions regarding parents’ education were asked and Mr. Lou exchanged his views and future plans of the bureau on the aspect.
