Pipeline Project: Cross-generation Inclusion through Sound Art
We are delighted that Church of Christ in China (CCC), Tam Lee Lai Fun Memorial Secondary School in Tun Mun will become our pilot partner in delivering one of our pipeline projects, Cross-generation Inclusion through Sound Art.
Led by our founder Amanda Sun and the composer and sound artist Alain Chui, and supported by student sound designer Walter Li and student intern in Social Science Hazel Fok, we are taking 20 youths and elders on a journey of seeking the texture, history, and stories behind the sound landscapes of the community we live in. This project aims to leverage sound art to help foster intergenerational understanding, communication and inclusion between secondary school youths and elders.
We want to thank the frontline teachers who advocate the importance of community-based learning through arts and who help bring this project to life. We hope that the pilot will make this project grant-ready, enabling public or private funders to support its introduction to more schools in Hong Kong. Through sound art, we hope to educate children and youths with ethical and respectable minds when it comes to cross-generation differences, to enhance their storytelling and imagination skills with the support of technology in the sound creation process, and mostly importantly, to help them foster deeper connections to the neighbourhood and community that we all share.
