School-based Arts Project

The School-based Arts Project comprises of an annual Arts Day and a Joint Special Schools Music and Arts Festival (JSSMAF) for disabled children in Special Schools, Early Education and Training Centres (EETC) and Special Child Care Centres (SCCC).

The annual Arts Day will aim at promoting interest in arts and culture amongst children with disabilities. We would encourage participation by students in Special Schools, EETC and SCCC in interest classes of painting, drawing, Chinese calligraphy, ceramic and singing, as well as mass games like dancing, characters design playground, puppet shows etc.

The JSSMAF will include a variety show and an exhibition. It will aim at providing performance opportunities for disabled students to show what they have achieved in arts and culture training, and at the same time, enhancing public awareness of the benefits of integrating disabled children in arts and cultural life, e.g. enhancing self-confidence, expression and communication skills and creativity.
