Through arts educational programmes, their mission is to instil inclusion and foster perspectives in the way the children see the world. By offering equal educational and experiential arts learning opportunities for the children from polarised communities, Arts for Good Foundation aims to empower future generations with positive changes in Hong Kong and broaden their perspectives to Hong Kong and to the world.
• Workshop description and benefits :Arts for Good Foundation strives to work for children from polarised or culturally divided communities in Hong Kong. We aim to build connections between youths and help them to look at the world with perspectives , and learn to communicate and understand their differences, to grow with respectful and ethical minds, and make positive changes together. By pairing youths from polarised communities , in the one for one format, our artist Katrina helps children learn to work with each other through the distances, contacts, and tension in the process of making , and learn to coordinate and work with each other. They are starting from “making” with their hands , and gradually moving to other parts of their bodies. The making process will be amplified as like in East Asian dance . Textile arts has been a historical practice of community inclusion and women empowerment. We deeply believe Katrina will contribute to the social mission of Arts for Good Foundation.
