何謂「休耕年」？它如何能夠幫助年輕學子？休耕年的理念源於歐洲及澳洲，它的意思是指學生從課業中休息一年，去發掘自己的天賦或興趣所在。在休
耕年中，學生可以做各種活動，這些活動可以是在喜馬拉雅山脈中進行艱辛的徒步之旅，為窮人建造房屋、照顧老年人等。雖然有些父母認為這是浪費時間，但休耕年實際上提供學生一個機會去發現他們的熱情及長處。有些教育人士說，曾經參與過休耕年的學生在返回學校後變得更積極、更獨立。學生可能在旅途中受到鼓舞，然後致力於研讀他們有興趣的科目。而且，學生也不需要做一整年的休耕年活動，也不需要在國外做這些活動。重要的是，休耕年幫助學生學習到未來會用到的技能，同時也擴展及深化了他們的人生經歷。
