The creative transformation often requires us to work closely with different people and to empathise with their thoughts and needs. Delightful solutions to problems can be created through continuous communication, collaboration, and sharing.
Due to the pandemic, kids have been spending most of their learning time online from home. With digital interactions taking the place of real-life socialising among the kids, we see the rise of a new generation that is adept at technology but challenged by interpersonal communication.
This year’s PMQ Seed Programme is themed “BETTER TOGETHER”. Once again, we will work with school-age kids to apply design thinking methodology in the creation of imaginative solutions based on empathetic discovery. Team collaboration will be a main focus in all workshop activities, through which participants will learn to respect diverse voices and work with each other’s strengths and weaknesses, all while building new knowledge and skills. Parents and teachers will also be involved in the human-centred co-creation process together with PMQ Seed’s teaching teams; it is our hope that grown-ups can gain valuable insights into the present and future of education by engaging with important issues from kids’ points of view.
Under the support of Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Lead Sponsor, PMQ Seed continue to work with multiple creativeteams this year to present six key programmes: “Creative Camp”, “School Outreach”, “Mini-camp”, “Creative Festival”, “Train the Trainer Workshop”, and the “Seed Online”. An exciting series of creative activities, each tailor-made for kids aged six to twelve, parents, or educators, is in the works—we can’t wait to share this journey with everyone!
The 10-day Creative Festival will feature an array of activities. Teachers, educators, parents and children aged 3 to 12 are all welcome to participate.
Tailored for children from age 6 to 8 and their parents, the Mini-camp aims to introduce empathy to its participants through playful and sensory learning experiences, to collaborate and co-create together.
With a series of engaging, thematic online classes, the creative camp is targeted at local students from P3 to P6.
All teachers and students are welcome. The School Outreach programme aims to cultivate P3 to P6 students’ motivation in learning through daily observation and reflection.
Covering areas including the application of design thinking, child education and blending learning, the Workshop hopes to encourage participants to use relevant knowledge to promote creative education in a daily classroom setting.
