Interface Projects: Teaching Hong Kong History, Culture and Society aims to nurture the sensibility of secondary school teachers towards local culture and society through organising lectures, seminars and field trips. The scheme also enriches teachers’ ideas on designing teaching schemes on local history. We encourage teachers to conduct field trips with students. By activities like communicating with local residents, studying inscription and visiting historical buildings, students can experience local culture and society, as well as build up their interest and initiation to study Hong Kong history. We believe that such active and interesting research methods assists students in developing their curiosity and creativity.
