Explore the Colours of New and Old; Foresee the Community of Future

Date: 11/07/2021

In order to enhance students’ understanding of the community culture and urban development, and encourage them to give more thoughts to their own future, our school has joined a program on culture and history — ‘The Future Us’, which was organized by Heritage of Mei Ho House and sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Sustainability Fund. On the day of the event, students followed the tour guide to Sham Shui Po, having an on-site investigation named ‘Culture Exploration Tour’, to have their first-hand experience in the integration of new and old elements of a community-- Tenement houses historical stores and newly opened cafes were next to one another. After the on-site investigation, students attended a seminar in Mei Ho House, in which Dr. Chow Ka Kin, a local historian, shared his views on the topic ‘popular entertainment’. This event allowed students to understand the trends of community development, inspiring them to think about the possibility of future urban development and planning.
