Formation: Beyond The Clay

Job Training and Opportunities

The venture provides pottery training for academically struggling high school students, particularly those from low-income families living in subdivided flats. The training will develop their vocational skills while boosting their interest in further education, thus increasing opportunities for upward mobility. Participants will undergo a six-month to one-year programme which includes pottery courses and internships at elderly centres. The training will deepen the students’ understanding of pottery and prepare them for a better career path.

Aging, Health Care

Dementia is an irreversible condition. By 2040, one in three people will be elderly. In 2039, more than 330,000 people in Hong Kong are expected to be diagnosed with dementia. With a team of registered occupational therapists, Brainy Training Kits uses their professional knowledge to design a training kit for people with dementia. The goal is to slow the progression of the disease and alleviate the burden on caregivers and medical staff.
