Cross-disciplinary Integration

AFTEC Jockey Club Creative Futures Project

Creativity is more than just self-expression—it’s a vital skill for problem-solving, collaboration, and lifelong learning. Generously funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, this four-year project brings creative learning into classrooms across Hong Kong from primary to tertiary education institutions.

This Project is the extension of the Jockey Club Arts-based Cross Curriculum Creative Learning Project, a pilot from 2021 – 2024 where there is proof of concept in the creative learning model.

I enjoyed the cultural outing creative learning experience. It sharpened my observation of my surroundings and opened up new possibilities.

Before joining the workshop, I felt that creativity was very abstract. Now, I have learnt some practical ways to enhance my creativity.

Creativity in education is the process of searching, understanding, and comprehending. The process of imagination is the most precious; if there are predetermined answers, there is no need for exploration. Creativity shines through the realisation of imagination.

If conventional classes and education organise children’s scattered streams of thoughts into a smooth flowing river, creative classrooms are like stones thrown into that river, breaking the routine to spark new thinking and experiences.

Arts is based on observation, exploring one’s perspectives on things from different angles through experimentation. It stimulates thinking and questioning, thereby igniting new imagination and interpretation. Education fosters this kind of learning by raising questions that arouse curiosity, guiding students to re-observe, re-think, and re-understand things. Creativity makes the learning journey more memorable and relatable.

I have always been interested in promoting different values—such as inclusivity, empathy, emotional intelligence, interpersonal relationships, and self-worth—to the public through dance and body movements. After this workshop, I’ve realised how arts education can have transformative impacts on the next generation.
