CREATIVE CHANCES

Creativity, expression, passion

CAS WEEK:

“Our annual CAS Week invites international students to organize a creative week for local Hong Kong citizens. This will be a 7 day long program.”

CREATIVE SUPPLIES DELIVERY “We will gather up donated supplies and visit government housing and the poorer citizens of Hong Kong, delivering them free supplies to allow them opportunities to express themselves in new ways.”

Literature, arts, music, drama, photography

AREAS

LITERATURE “A book provides a gateway to another world.”

Our students will introduce participants to literature by:

-Exposing them to new books

-Taking them to the library

Our students will introduce participants to music by:

-Exposing them to new genres of music

-Giving them chances to try out instruments

DRAMA AND FILM “We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.”

Our students will introduce participants to drama by:

-Showing them different films

-Showing them plays

-Giving them short scripts to practice

PHOTOGRAPHY “What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”

OUR VISION

Helping those who cannot help themselves

Broadening the horizons of those who do not have chances to

Giving them not necessarily solutions, but ways to help themselves
