Arts for Good Exclusive

Welcome to the December 2024 newsletter of the Arts for Good Foundation. This month, we are pleased to announce the successful completion of the English Creative Writing Support through Arts Integrated Learning and Community Outreach. We are grateful to the School of English at the Chinese University of Hong Kong for the collaboration which has enriched our portfolio with the meaningful service project. On the other note, we extend our appreciation to the Rotary Club of Shouson Hill for their support towards a creative art endeavour of Arts for Good in 2025.
As we approach to the new year of creating new possibilities, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable opportunities that have enriched our journey. We are deeply grateful for the trust and collaboration that have been extended to us. All the support has been pivotal in driving our big dreams forward and in making this year truly memorable. We are dedicated to fostering meaningful partnerships with the same unwavering passion and diligence, committed to excellence and creativity in all our social endeavours through and with the arts.
Last but not least, as we bid farewell to 2024, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2025.
Best regards,

Better City, Better Life: “Along the River During Qingming Festival - Kwun Tong”
Part 1 with Hong Kong Baptist University
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the first part of “Along the River During Qingming Festival - Kwun Tong Chapter" in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs Cultural Literacy (LIVE) at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). We express our deep gratitude to Vessel Kwun Tong for providing the meaningful venue, Vessel 02 Dream, to support this initiative. Vessel 02 Dream is a semi-covered space beautifully transformed from repurposed shipping containers and conveniently located by the Kwun Tong Promenade.
“Ship”, “River”, "Bridge", and “People” have been identified as the key visual elements of the classic Chinese painting for the First Part of the Kwun Tong Chapter. By situating this learning and creative experience at Vessel 02 Dream within the broader context of Kwun Tong, we aim to bring forth a deeper meaning to this vibrant neighbourhood and industrial hub. Drawing from the timeless inspiration of the classic scroll “Along the River During Qingming Festival”, this project will inspire the youth to imagine fresh possibilities and reinterpret essence of "Vessel," "Water," "Pathways", and "Life of People" in Kwun Tong.
We aim to curate a sensory-rich and thought-provoking learning experience for HKBU students through reinterpreting Kwun Tong in connection with the esteemed Chinese classic painting. Our goal is to guide students with a rich contextual understanding and visual engagement, enable them to articulate their thoughts about “change” and “resilience” through the creative process. Furthermore, we seek to co-create a collaborative artwork that holds their unique perspective on the classic painting and its relevancy to Hong Kong.

We are excited to welcome our new cohort of nine interns from various disciplines including Creative Communication, Policy Studies, Sustainability, Tourism, and Fine Art.
At Arts for Good, we are a dedicated social enterprise created by the youth and is for the youth. We are committed to serving as a strong change agent, fostering cross-sector and cross-departmental collaborations to co-create positive social impact through and with the arts, with our purpose on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Hong Kong.
We hope to strengthen our collaborations with universities to engage young talents in our social and creative initiatives. We co-create change with youth through community-based learning, experiential learning, project-based learning, and service learning opportunities, and we uphold positive values and ethics in all our social impact initiatives. We connect history, heritage and contextual interpretation to broaden perspectives, creating narratives of Hong Kong that resonate with younger generations and their diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences. Most importantly, we maintain a collective and participatory approach as we move forward on our journey.

更美好的城市，更美好的生活：
香港浸會大學「清明上河圖–觀塘篇 （上）」
我們即將與香港浸會大學學生事務處「拉闊文化」共同推出「清明上河圖–觀塘篇」第一部分。我們非常感謝 Vessel 觀塘提供的場地支持。這片場地由舊的貨櫃船艙改造而成，是一個半開放的優美空間，毗鄰觀塘海濱長廊。
「船」、「河流」「橋」與「人」是這幅經典中國畫作中我們選定的關鍵視覺元素，也是本項目第一部分的核心。透過將學習及創造體驗設於「Vessel」並置於觀塘這一社區和歷史背景下，我們賦予了這一香港主要社區及工業區更深層的意義。該項目旨在啟發青年在觀塘創造新的可能性。從這幅歷久彌新的經典畫作所呈現的「船、河、橋、人」故事中汲取靈感,我們希望帶領學生藉此重新詮釋「發現號」、「水」、「途徑」與「生活」在觀塘的意義。
我們將為香港浸會大學的學生打造一個豐富感官的學習體驗，將觀塘與這幅中國經典名畫聯繫起來。透過感官豐富且深度思考的學習過程，為年輕參與者注入新視角，指引他們以藝術形式表達對「變化」與「韌性」的新見解，並共同創作一件具有本地青年相關聯的，有意義的集體創作作品。

青年人力資源
我們非常高興歡迎九位來自不同學科的實習生團隊，他們分別來自創意傳播、政策研究、可持續發展、旅遊和藝術等學習領域。
Arts for Good是一個由青年創建、服務於青年的社會企業。我們努力成為一個強大的社創推動者，秉持開放的態度，促進跨行業、跨部門的合作，透過藝術人文以及與藝術相結合的社會創新方式，在多元、公平、包容和歸屬感（DEIB）領域共同創造積極的長遠社會影響力。
我們將繼續努力與高校的合作，吸引更多年輕人才參與到我們的社會及創意議程中。我們透過社區學習、體驗式學習、項目式學習以及服務學習等學習機會，與青年同學以藝術共同推動、體驗以及創造改變。我們秉持積極的價值觀和道德基準，將歷史、文化遺產與社會背景詮釋相結合，拓寬拓展多遠視野，同時創造與年輕人多元文化背景及人生經歷相關的香港故事。最重要的是，我們堅持以集體參與和多元合作的方式，繼續向前邁進，共同書寫未來。
