Dramatic history lesson evokes appreciation
*******************************************
*******************************************
A group of Girl Guides have undergone a dramatic experiment that let them vicariously step into their grandmothers' shoes to understand the challenges people faced growing up in Hong Kong in the 1960s and '70s - and appreciate what they have today.
News.gov.hk spoke with the Guides and the project leaders, who described how re-enacting history can give a greater understanding than simply learning from a textbook. Participants also realised that history is not just about the past, as it also informs the present and shapes the future.
The story appears on news.gov.hk today (August 17) in both text and video format.
