Dear Hong Kong: Mentorship Scheme
「親愛的香港」師友計劃

Date 日期:

05 - 18 Jan 2021

Time 時間:

12:00am - 5:00pm

Summary 內容:

香港是個獨一無二的地方，不論視之為家抑或暫居於此，香港都讓人難以忘懷。近年的社會事件以至反覆未停的新冠肺炎疫情，令我們的日常生活不再日常。
踏入2021年，我們誠邀同學以「親愛的香港」為題，創作文學、影像或音樂作品。藝術創作未必能夠讓一切完美，但我們相信，創作可以讓我們更認識和欣賞自己和這個世界，並為我們的社群帶來正能量。
「親愛的香港」師友計劃為期十星期，參與同學將與導師及組員交流，並在導師指導下完成原創作品。
此計劃由香港大學學生發展及資源中心（通識）與香港大學文學院合辦，並獲大學教育資助委員會撥款的港大知識交流基金資助。

Hong Kong is a place like no other. It leaves an impression on everyone, no matter you treat it as a home or a stopover. From the recent social incidents to the COVID-19 pandemic, the unprecedented challenges caused many changes in our everyday life here.
As 2021 unfolds, we invite you to write/film/compose a message to Hong Kong, a place we dearly love. Creating artworks might not be able to make everything perfect, but it is a way for us to better understand and appreciate ourselves and the world around us, and to bring positive energy to our community.
During this 10-week mentorship scheme, you will exchange ideas with the mentor and fellow mentees, and create your original artworks under the mentor’s guidance.
This project is co-organised by General Education, CEDARS, HKU, and the Faculty of Arts, HKU, and is supported by the HKU Knowledge Exchange Fund granted by the University Grants Committee.
