Introduction of Heritage Theatre

Heritage Theatre is the combination of "Museum Theatre" and "Theatre-in-Education".

Arteducators use the essence of historical heritage and its related environment to design different projects for teaching, with the help of drama, visual arts and digital creativity to revitalise the stories of heritage. Constructionist Learning is its key that students can participate and contribute actively during the process which encourage their self-learning skills.

"Heritage Theatre in Sai Kung –  Community Culture Inheritance Education Programme" is aimed to provide an interesting learning experience for local students to know more about the culture, history and nature of Sai Kung; also to meet the needs of schools after the implementation of the new 334 academic structure.
