Co-creating Heritage Map: Youth Community Docent Training Programme

The program is divided into two groups: high school (Forms 4 to 6) and youth (university freshmen and above). After completing a series of professional training sessions in historical culture and video editing, each team in the group will design a themed tour route in Causeway Bay and produce a roughly 10-minute short video to introduce historic buildings using the skills they have learned. The ten themed routes developed will be compiled and published as a Causeway Bay Cultural Map by Po Leung Kuk.

All trainings will be conducted in Cantonese. Please refer to the Chinese version for details.
