HK S88 (w.e.f. 01.11.2022)
The Story
Space is Limited, a simple fact that concerns most of our fellow Hong Kong citizens, is also the name of the team behind this initiative. We have been a socially responsible and visionary team since 2016, including the winning of “Dream City Urban Design Competition by HK Seek Road” back in 2017, with our proposal once circulated in the late Harvard Urban Forum. Since 2020, at the wake of the social turmoil, we have self-funded a revitalization project turning an abandoned camera factory (~10,000 s.f.) in Kwai Chung into a co-creation space for aspiring creators in Hong Kong, hoping to instill a more constructive and collaborative vibe in the city we love.
Over the past 2 years, we have been the venue sponsor for the Hong Kong International Photo Festival’s exhibition in 2021, scores of cat adoption events, while providing an affordable venue for independent theater performances, film productions, art therapy sessions, wellness experiential workshops and installation art exhibitions. In March 2023, we successfully acquired the S88 status under EXP. LEARNING Ltd. that is dedicated to provide equal opportunity to the underserved youths to explore, enjoy and learn from the experiences in our network of experts in different arenas so that we can empower and equip them for the ever changing future.
Problem
The world is rapidly evolving. That’s a fact. The advent of AI has only accelerated this; creating an uncertain future for today’s youth. Due to this, jobs that exist today will not exist tomorrow, and the effects of climate change become more and more sinister. We call this generation “The Lost Generation”, on account of the lack of a clear direction for the future.
Solution
EXP.LEARNING aims to give this “Lost Generation” the help it needs. We focus on several core feelings that we believe can help to achieve this: Empowerment, Agency, Hope and Freedom.
Though our methods vary across our programs, we will teach the skills of: Technology literacy, Entrepreneurship, Global viewpoint, whilst providing opportunities for career development in their futures.
Beneficiaries
We believe that all can benefit from our programs, from the individuals who sign up, to our course leaders and service providers. That being said, our programs focus on the youth particularly those between 16 and 35.
Our Programs
The 'Borderless Classroom' rethinks traditional education. Rather than being skills or output driven, we focus on 'transformation' from the inside-out: Knowing that our reach and resources are limited, we design our programs to focus on inspiring internal changes with learners, so that they will then continue the endless journey of learning with more motivation, purpose and passion.
Borderless Classrooms
From transformative habits to purposeful journeys, we take learning into the moments we least expect them. Science has shown that these experiences can have a formative, positive impact on participants.
変革をもたらす習慣から目的のある旅まで、私たちは学びを思いがけない瞬間に取り入れます。それが参加者に大きな影響を与えることができると、科学的研究に基づいて確信しています。
