Heritage Discovery Programme

Client: Ground Culture Limited, Po Leung Kuk Ma Kam Ming Secondary School | Year: 2020 - 2022

What we do:

  • 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

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.
