From March to May 2026, PMQ Seed collaborated with the Design Thinking team of the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), along with artists, designers, artificial intelligence (AI) training specialists, school teachers, and social workers—professionals with extensive teaching and experience working with students, to organise a series of Train the Trainer Workshops.
The workshops were primarily designed for cross-disciplinary creative practitioners and school teachers participating in this year’s PMQ Seed Creative Education Programme. We also welcomed local teachers and professionals from the education and creative sectors who are interested in creative education to join the workshops, to help participants gain a deeper understanding of how cross-sector collaboration can put design thinking into practice, explore its diverse applications, learn how AI can be integrated into teaching, examine AI's potential as a tool for artistic creation, and acquire theoretical knowledge related to resilience-building.
Participants were encouraged to apply what they learned from the Train the Trainer Workshops in the upcoming PMQ Seed programme and their future teaching in order to promote design thinking and creative education. The HKDI team will also provide professional advice for the upcoming PMQ Seed programme.
