WOW Summer Camp (Free event with deposit) 7-9 yrs

Address

During the 4-day summer camp, students will be guided by architects, artists and the curator of PMQ Taste Library. Learn in a playful way through the cross-disciplinary creative experiences of architecture, art and food.

Foster the ability of independent thinking without losing empathy, explore during the process, express views without losing focus on teamwork, and combine these experiences into the creative works in the end.

1st day (4 hours): Brainstorm and run group discussions through role plays, different games and creative exercises about imagination. Learn to express oneself, appreciate classmates’ creativity, and develop “My Village” together.
2nd day (2 hours): Learn how to observe, document and think with empathy through a field trip in Sheung Wan and/or Central, onsite observation and exploring the differences between the real urban space and the imaginary neighbourhood.
3rd day (2 hours): Create with different food ingredients as materials, stimulate students’ imaginations through five senses, work together and reflect the food culture of the imaginary village.
4th day (3 – 4 hours): Develop creativity through integrating the experiences from the first three days. Share the creative process, results and experiences with classmates and mentors.

Apart from the 4-day summer camp, participants are required to join the exhibition (to be held in Dec 2018 – Jan 2019, exact date to be confirmed). Details will soon be announced.
