GE2019-40
The programme GE2019-40 Your Letters to Hong Kong is cancelled. Enrolled students will be contacted by email for the full refund in due course.
我們來到2030年，一位十年前離開香港的老朋友來信問候：「這些年來，你過得怎樣？你和家人過得好嗎？香港還好嗎？」
現在是執筆回信的時候了，三位講者將化身你的導遊，由你梳理及想像自己的經歷、希望、恐懼和夢想，一同穿梭到2030年的時空。課程完結後，你將親筆寫好一封給老朋友、給香港的情書。
We are now in the year 2030 – a loved one has been away from Hong Kong for the last decade. He or she has asked you to give your impression of what life is like now, what you have experienced over the last few years, how you and your family have coped with changes, and how you imagine Hong Kong might become in the next decade or so.
In this two-session workshop, you will imagine yourself writing a letter (either in English or Chinese) to your loved one in 2030. The speakers will guide you to inject your (imagined) personal experience, hopes and fears, and your dreams in light of what you envision will happen in Hong Kong from now to 2030. Where possible the letter should relate how these developments impacted on you, (your family, and your friends); vignettes of your personal life will spice up the composition.
▍Speakers:
- Ms. Michelle Ng 吳若琦女士
Bilingual writer (English and Chinese) English writing coach
- Mr. Wong Fei Pang 黃飛鵬先生
Film Director
- Mr. Chris Yeung 楊健興先生
