Creativity is a seed—it holds the power to transform and move the world.
In our ever-growing society, with technology changing our lives by the day, creative and human-centered thinking will become increasingly important. We believe that planting the creative seed in the minds of children will contribute significantly towards their cultivation of character and creative thought, as well as growth and development in future society.
Since 2018, PMQ Seed, a project initiated by PMQ, under the support of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as Lead Sponsor, has been collaborating with various local creative and educational organisations to design a series of cross-disciplinary and immersive educational activities, workshops, and exhibitions, with the aim of cultivating design thinking among school children. It is our goal to enrich young learners' growth with creative design skills. Furthermore, through the application of human-centered thinking, we hope to learn from our new generation’s perspectives as we reflect on the present and unlock the future.
About PMQ
PMQ is part of the government’s “Conserving Central” initiative and one of the heritage conservation and revitalisation projects under Development Bureau. With more than a century of history and counting, the site first served as the Central School’s campus. In 1951, it became the Former Police Married Quarters on Hollywood Road. The compound has been listed as a Grade 3 Historic Building since 2010. In 2014, the compound was renamed PMQ and opened to the public. As a non-profit-making organisation, PMQ not only builds this iconic design hub for the Hong Kong creative industries with the design community but also promotes “enterprising creativity”, creativity manifestation, and sets out to nurture more local designers.
