The Hong Kong Heritage Museum’s signature summer education programme — “MuseTeens: Youth Leadership Scheme”, invites teenagers to explore arts and culture while developing their leadership skills. To date, more than 1,000 young people have participated in the programme, fostering their interest in art, culture and history through tailor-made courses, while gaining an introductory insight into how a museum operates. This year, the programme featured a Learning Journey Gallery, showcasing students’ creativity and celebrating their learning and growth. The museum aims to inspire more young people to help carry forward the vitality of art and cultural heritage.

 

This year’s theme was “When Collections Take the Lead — Creative Stop-motion Animation”. The programme used stop-motion animation to bring young people closer to the museum’s collections. The programme guided junior and senior secondary school students to explore the collections in depth, drawing inspiration from four major categories: “Chinese Antiquities”, “Chinese Painting and Calligraphy”, “Performing Arts” and “Popular Culture”. Students transformed selected objects into protagonists of their animations. Under the guidance of professional tutor, students applied the fundamental principles of paper-cut stop-motion animation to create imaginative experimental works, showcasing how digital media art can breathe new life into the museum’s collections.
