Welcome to the September 2024 newsletter of the Arts for Good Foundation. This month, we extend our thanks to the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and the Adventure in Reality (AiR), a TECH 300 Company of CityUHK, for their support in extending the reach of Stories of Hong Kong that we created with the students from the College of Library Arts and Social Science (CLASS) at CityUHK. This collaboration will bring our creative works to two different digital platforms focused on community engagement and youth digital learning through the arts within the CityUHK community. We are excited to launch these platforms on 2 November 2024 as part of initiatives of CityUHK's 30th anniversary celebrations.
As a social impact organisation specialising in engaging youth in storytelling and visual expression with imagination, we strongly believe in the vital role of technology to enhance our ability to drive community and social good through creativity and the power of story. We are dedicated to fostering cross-department and cross-sector collaborations and strive to create another successful case to add to our social impact portfolio. As we move forward, we persist in advocating for creative endeavours, sharing our greater aspirations to stakeholders who align with our vision of a more diverse and inclusive future for Hong Kong.
Best regards,

Cultural Diversity Exhibition At Manulife Hong Kong & Macau in Hong Kong
Manulife values and celebrates the diversity of cultures present in their workforce and in the communities they serve. This October, they will be spotlighting cultures and traditions across Asia, with a particular focus on the ethnic minority communities in Hong Kong.
We are delighted to be participating in Manulife's Global Diversity Awareness Month, acknowledging and paying tribute to the diverse minds and beliefs held by all cultures around the world in their various segments. We will feature young artists from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Pakistan and Mainland China, celebrating the diversity of Hong Kong's culture through textile making, printmaking, miniature arts and photography. This exhibition delves into the essence of cultural diversity through the shared heritages of textile and printmaking. This exploration aims to prompt reflections on connections, belonging, and the spectrum of diversity within Hong Kong through visual, textural, and material contrasts.
Through exhibitions and interpretations, we strongly advocate diversity and inclusion through stories and visual expression with real-life relevance. We utilise ordinary and versatile materials and engage in meaningful art-making processes to embrace cultural diversity as an integral part of daily contemplation. Through our endeavours with artists, we aspire to enhance awareness and catalyze transformative shifts in attitudes, promoting an ethos of inclusivity and respect in Hong Kong.

Weekly English Poetry and Art Integrated Learning Outreach at Caritas Mok Cheung Sui Kun Community Center
We are proud to have played a part in launching The Art Intergrated English Learning Support with Hong Kong Poetry* programme in September in collaboration with the Department of English at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Caritas Mok Cheung Sui Kun Community Center. As we enter October, we are pleased to announce the expansion of the programme, which will be offered as an extracurricular English creative writing class at the community Center. Over the next few months, we will lead students from CUHK, helping them to deliver weekly learning sessions in English creative writing and poetry appreciation to school children as part of their After School Care at the community center.
Under the programme, students from the Department of English, CUHK, will be the key people power delivering this initiative. We strongly advocate for meaningful community service opportunities for university students, adding diversity and meanings to their learning journeys. We are dedicated to delivering another successful example of supporting knowledge transferring and bring students' learning from university campus to the society while making a collaborative impact through and with the arts.

歡迎閱覽Arts for Good Foundation本年度九月份的通訊。本月，我們非常感謝香港城市大學 (CityUHK) 電腦科學系和 CityUHK 科技 300 強公司 Adventure in Reality (AiR) 的全力支持，將我們和城大人文社會科學院的學生們一起創造的香港故事推廣至兩個數碼平台上。此次合作將促進城大社群內的社區參與，以及年青人以藝術為媒介的數位學習。我們期待於 2024 年 11 月 2 日推出的兩個數碼平台，以慶祝香港城市大學成立三十週年。
作為一間專門引導青年投入創意故事敘事以及豐富視覺表達的社會企業，我們堅信科技對於我們透過創作及故事敘述在爭取社區福祉道路上的重要作用。我們致力於建立跨部門、跨界別的合作，懷著熱誠和堅持，樹立一個個標誌著Arts for Good社創精神的成功案例。前行路上，我們將繼續與各方利益持份者倡導我們的創意、耕耘和願景，以及推廣我們極具深度且有意義的社創方案。 我們堅持於我們有著共同的社會目標的利益持份者，一起開創一個更具多元化和包容力的香港。

宏利「文化多元展」
宏利重視並慶祝其員工隊伍和所服務社區的文化多樣性。今年十月，他們將聚焦亞洲特色文化和傳統，特別關注香港的少數族裔社區。
我們很高興即將參加該全球多元化意識月。我們邀請來自香港、菲律賓、巴基斯坦和中國內地的藝術家，透過紡織品藝術、版畫、「微」藝術以及攝影來慶祝香港文化的多樣性。 本次展覽透過這些地區共同的紡織和版畫遺產探討文化多樣性的本質。這項探索旨在透過視覺、紋理和材料的對比，促使人們反思香港以及機構內的多元聯繫、歸屬感和文化多樣性。
通過藝術展覽和多元詮釋，我們倡導透過與現實生活相關的故事和視覺表達來倡議多元和共融。我們利用普通和多功能的材料，參與有深度和有意義的藝術創作過程，將文化多樣性作為日常沉思的一個重要組成部分。透過與藝術家的合作，我們更渴望提高對多元文化的認識，促進對多元態度的改觀，並促成共融和尊重的社會願景。

藝與詩:詩歌藝術綜合學習外展
(明愛莫張瑞勤社區中心)
我們與香港中文大學（中大）英文系合作的「融合藝術創作體驗， 支援英語學習（香港詩歌篇）*」工作坊，在上個月於明愛莫張瑞坤社區中心成功推出。我們很高興地宣布，該創意學習體驗將擴展成為社區中心的課外英語創意寫作計劃。在接下來的幾個月裡，我們將帶領中大的學生，在社區中心為課後託管學童提供每周的英語創意寫作和詩歌欣賞的學習支援。
同時，我們很高興帶領中大英語系的新學年的幾位學生一起實施這項計劃，他們是不可或缺的人力支持。我們強烈倡導為大學生在各領域和各學科學習過程中提供更多有意義的社區服務。我們致力於再次打造成功案例，支持將知識和學習體驗從校園轉移到社會以及社區當中，並透過與藝術整合成新的學習體驗以創造長遠的社會影響力。
