The five-day workshop not only built friendship between the trainers and the young people, but also let us hear the boys’ dreams, reasons and difficulties of studying in a boarding disciplinary school- like loneliness, missing family members, and eagerness for freedom, friendship. We also get to know some reasons of the behavioural problems, like family violence, bullying in schools, etc

Training-of-trainers workshop

UNICEF HK hold a two-day training workshop on 12 and 13 May at Hong Kong Baptist University. Three oversea experts of One Minutes Junior, Mr Chris Schuepp, Ms Vivian Wen Li Lin and Ms Judith Leysner came to train and build capacities of local artists with knowledge and skills, so that they could become the local trainers of a series of Believe In Zero, Make A Video camps and help Hong Kong youth to create their one minute video story.

Slanted visions: Returning the Gaze
Asian European Media Maker Forum
18:00 – 19:30 | Theater 2

After the premiere of the three CinemAsia FilmLAB shorts, we will investigate the role of Asian European media makers in challenging stereotypical representations of Asia and Asians in Europe. Images of Asians are not only stereotypical, but also painfully absent within media productions. While societal reality shows us a ethnic diverse image, media representations lack this diversity. This panel explores how these filmmakers, actors and producers articulate the need for the recognition of (multi)cultural identities and why they consider this important.
