The Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme
The Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme (AAiSS) organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) is an arts promotion scheme for local schools. Since its launch in 2008, AAiSS has amassed an alumni of more than 15,000 ambassadors from primary, secondary and special schools who have demonstrated their artistic talents and potentials while inviting others to partake in the fun of creating the arts, living out the cooperative spirit of "Live in Art, Thrive in Sharing".
This year, in addition to the "Future Record Project" Arts Tech Exhibition, Youth Arts Week has invited various local artists and arts groups to offer an array of online and offline arts activities such as Handpan workshop, neon light designing, alcohol ink art, tap dance and craft-ligraphy to allow arts ambassadors to unleash their creativities.
