From cinematic and theatrical acts of care to the preservation of environmental aesthetics and built heritage, these presentations provide profound insights into the dynamic intersections of care, aesthetics, politics, policy, and activism.

✨A wonderful event inspired by a course under CCC's "Pedagogy of Care"👏

✨「寫作+」創作現場日營回顧（1/3） 「人與創作的距離，也就是自己和自己、自己和世界的距離。在這個基礎上，一切都是體驗。」 IRCCS 與 Department of Literature and Cultural Studies, EdUHK於2024年7月7日至13日期間舉辦了「寫作+」創作現場日營。寫作營的靈感來自於人文學院 Comparative Cultures of Care, FHM, Eduhk研究項目下「關懷教育學」的一門課程：GEL2013 鍊成作者路:書寫內在世界，並為FHM關懷倡議活動之一。24位教大學生參加了為期一週，由不同領域專家帶領的體驗活動。參加者學習了如何培養對「自我」與世界的關懷，並將這種關懷轉化為自我表達，融於藝術創作過程中。 ✨Recap on the ‘Writing+ Live & In-Person Day Camp’ (1/3) “The distance between oneself and creation mirrors the distance between oneself and the self, as well as the self and the world. Upon this foundation, all are experiences.” IRCCS and Department of Literature and Cultural Studies, EdUHK hosted the “Writing+ Live & In-Person Day Camp” during July 7-13, 2024, inspired by the course GEL2013 Becoming a Writer: Writing About the Self and the World, under the "Pedagogy of Care" from the 'Comparative Cultures of Care, FHM, Eduhk' Project, and serves as one of the initiatives of "Care Across FHM”. 24 EdUHK students joined us for a week of experiential activities led by guest experts from diverse fields. Participants learned to nurture care for the “self” and the world, channeling such care into the self-expression and creation of art. #IRCCS #FHM #LCS #EDUHK #WritingPlus #ComparativeCulturesofCare #PedagogyofCare #CareAcrossFHM #CreativeWriting #CreativeWritingDayCamp #唐睿 #楊秀卓 #洪強 #李日康 #黃怡 #OscarLee #陳健安 #oncallstar #曾淦賢 #阿三 #ChanSaiLok 香港活字館 hong kong open press Hong Kong Open Printshop
