The environmental impact of plastics can no longer be ignored. How might kids participate in the global effort to reduce plastic wastes?
Plastics are the second most common source of Hong Kong’s urban solid waste and a key area of the increasingly urgent issue of waste management. This year’s PMQ Seed, themed “Kids in Action”, is all about re-examining our environment and the plastic products we find everywhere. What sort of changes can kids bring forth when they approach the problem with creative power? Their curiosity and passion for the environment will provide the perfect spark to inspire grownups to take action for our planet.
Through carrying out a series of programmes and events centred on the themes “Reduce”, “Recycle”, “Reuse”, and “Upcycle”, the PMQ Seed programme will guide the kids to learn about and engage with the reduction of plastic waste from a place of empathy and creativity, transforming new ideas into real-world solutions.
Under the support of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Lead Sponsor, alongside a team of local creative professionals, we will host a variety of programmes this year, including the “Creative Training Class”, “Creative Summer Festival”, “Train the Trainer Workshops” and “Seed Online”. We will also be exhibiting at the Learning and Teaching Expo (LTE). Designed for kids aged 6-14, parents, and educators, PMQ Seed will deliver a playful series of hands-on creative challenges meant to connect knowledge and love for the planet with personal initiative. Join us on this visionary green journey!
PMQ Seed will showcase the creative works by students and teaching teams in the Learning & Teaching Expo (LTE), and promoted the practice and application of Design Thinking in education.
The 9-day Creative Summer Festival will feature an array of activities including creative workshops and sharing sessions. Teachers, educators, parents and children aged 6 to 12 are all welcome to participate.
The programme aims to enhance students' critical thinking regarding everyday life and environmental concerns, while fostering self-directed learning among students from P5 to P6.
The program strives to nurture students' powers of observation in daily life and the environment through engaging games and hands-on activities. It also aims to inspire creativity and unleash the potential of students in Primary 3 to 4.
Covering areas including the application of design thinking, children’s education, the Workshop aimed to encourage participants to use relevant knowledge to promote creative education in a daily classroom setting.
