「創藝啟能 成長發展」＋「童創空間 校園及社區營造」＠天水圍北 Participatory Community Art Activities for Child Empowerment at Chinese Y.M.C.A Primary School on 6th June 2015 & 18th June 2016, in Morgan Stanley’s 10th & 11th Annual Global Volunteer Month

​

We outreach to teach, inspire, facilitate and work together with children to create community art works and support schools' visual art and creativity education. Having Morgan Stanley's staff-volunteer teams joined our mission, a creative and colourful long mural advocating environmental messages was produced within a day on 6th June 2015. And, on 18th June 2016, ten more creative pieces of site-responsive murals were born to bring more colours, beauty, imagination, energy, fun and surprise to the campus and Tin Shui Wai's community space! Children & volunteers were also motivated to invite local community members to interestingly interact with their joyful art works by playing photo-taking together, in engaging the community in another round of art-making and inducing their interest and concern towards the community space, art and children's school life! Post-events have also been continuously grown by the school - whole school's children tour around and play with the murals after exams, and continue our organized photo competition activity involving public voting! 

​

Our participatory art creation activity facilitates the self-empowerment and personal development of children. The art-as-media activity process lets the participated children build up communication skills, social network and team-working abilities through interaction and collaboration with school-mates, volunteers and community members. It also enhances the children's confidence and self-esteem through their giving and achievement in the service-learning; and develop a stronger sense of belongings on and ownership of their campus and community, as they are engaged in the place-making and decision-making on their own space. It is a meaningful and joyful service, as well as a good interaction platform for life experience sharing and encouragement giving between children, professional and international volunteers, the local community and we Community Builders. Wholehearted thank to Morgan Stanley for selecting and fully sponsoring our designed & organized project, and arranging very helpful and friendly staff-volunteer teams for our school partner to realize the lovely service together!  Great to have made these creative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects!
