Heritage Discovery Programme

Nurturing voices, rediscovering place: a student-led journey into Fanling’s hidden heritage

From November 2020 to August 2022, Walk in Hong Kong and Ground Culture Limited co-organised a long-term heritage learning programme for PLK Ma Kam Ming College in Fanling. Responding to the school’s emphasis on positive education and its diverse student population—including a significant number of cross-boundary students—the programme aimed to cultivate students’ confidence, communication skills, and sense of place through creative exploration of their community.

Despite disruptions caused by the pandemic, the programme adapted with a mix of in-person and virtual components. Students engaged in hands-on learning across six workshops, a taster walking tour, and group mentoring. Through storytelling, oral history, and community mapping, they uncovered Fanling’s cultural richness while developing practical skills in writing, research, design, and tour guiding.

What we did

  • Six interactive workshops on storytelling, oral history, publication design, and tour guiding
  • Taster walking tour to Wan Chai as inspiration for students to reimagine Fanling through a new lens
  • Mentorship programme pairing student groups with young facilitators for hands-on research and story development
  • Final outputs: a student-designed community publication and guided tour experience
  • Legacy engagement: post-programme docent-led tour and printed booklet supported by the school and Walk in Hong Kong
