PMQ Seed 2024 KIDS IN ACTION Creative Training Class (Junior Primary) – “Plastic Storm”
PMQ Seed 2024 KIDS IN ACTION Creative Training Class (Junior Primary) programme begins with a fictional story called "Plastic Storm". Children participants will take on the role of young explorers who encounter a storm during a voyage. After the ship is destroyed and sinks in the storm, they find themselves stranded on an island. The young explorers discover various resources on the island, including discarded plastics and driftwood. Seeing these resources that have been abandoned by humans, they will work together and use their creativity, upcycle these materials to create transportation tools or plastic recycling vehicles to help them return home. The final part of the course will involve participants sharing their creative process, further deepening their learning outcomes.
Before the end of each day's activities, the instructors will lead the group in a 20-30 minute review and sharing session, allowing the students to express their thoughts and ideas, thereby enhancing the learning effect.
