About 60 Lingnan students, primary school students and senior citizens of the Elder Academy at Lingnan participated in the Cultural Sustainable Project organised by Office of Service-Learning to re-discover local culture and history, and to foster closer relations between the elderly and the youth.
As Culture Service-Learning Ambassadors, all participants learned some traditional handicrafts and passed the skills on to the local community through service-learning projects. They also visited different parts of Hong Kong and conducted interviews with local residents for interesting but untold, or forgotten, stories. A sharing session was held on 28 June for some of the ambassadors to share their experience and achievements in the project.
A photo competition themed on culture of New Territories West and sustainable development was also organised as part of the project. Winners of the competition are as follows:
