The Hong Kong Experience Project

Calling Hong Kong immigrant families with young children!

We are looking for recent Hong Kong immigrant families with children (aged 5-11) to share their stories. Through arts creation and oral history collection, your stories will be captured in a documentary. Participating families will receive a set of kid arts toolkits and £15 Amazon coupon as a token of appreciation. There is a chance to win a lucky draw.

About the project

The Hong Kong Experience project is funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) at University of Nottingham and works in collaboration with members of the Sustainable Travel and Tourism Advanced Research Centre, as well as representatives from Nottingham Central Library, Visit Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City Council. The project aims to support Nottingham in becoming a UNICEF Child-Friendly and inclusive society. Focusing on the growing population of immigrants from Hong Kong, the project will document the collective memories of this community to develop publicly available collections.
