HONG KONG, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and curated by Youth Square, the “Creative+ Arts Camp 2025” (primary and special schools division), one of the core activities of the 17th Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme, was successfully held from 18 to 21 April this year. Over 600 students from the Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme took part in a variety of arts workshops.
Themed “Connection x Innovation”, the “Creative+ Arts Camp 2025” allowed the arts ambassadors to unleash their creativity and enjoy the fun of making arts. Led by professional arts groups and artists, arts ambassadors were able to participate in an array of arts workshops including “Fabric Art”, “Qilin Stories and Paper Craft”, “Chinese Dance”, “Blue-and-white Porcelain Painting”, “Journey to Exploring Percussion” and “Zine-making with Riso Print” to ignite their creativity through learning, practicing and collaborative creation. Among the tutors, two of them are the alumni of the Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme. During the workshops, artists not only taught arts ambassadors the artistic creation techniques but also shared their creative concepts.
Youth Square has been providing a relaxed, reliable and safe environment for youth to explore every possibility of their potential. Adopting the guiding principles of the 6G model (Groom, Growth, Glow, Green, Global Vision and Give Back) continuously, Youth Square targets to nurture the interest of youth in arts by providing arts education through “Creative+ Arts Camp 2025” as well as share the joy of arts creativity.
