Secondary School Theatre-in-Education Project--The Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong sponsored by Quality Education Fund
優質教育基金撥款「中學教育劇場 之 香港日佔時期」
The Secondary School Theatre-in-Education Project has been launched since 2007. It is organized by Alice Theatre Laboratory and fully sponsored by Quality Education Fund. The project has been widely reported in various newspapers. We are glad to be chosen to be one of the participating schools this year.
The theme of the Secondary School Theatre-in-Education Project was the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong. On 28 May, our S4 students were invited to enter the mysterious maze-like structures built at the hall. Actor-teachers put on their costumes to play different roles. S4 students walked across the 3 scenes to witness the history of Japanese Invasion. All students were required to be the think tank of the main character called Ar Chong who was able to make the decisions on whether he would work for the Japanese troops or not.
Many students participating in this highly interactive activity found the project interesting and exciting. Most importantly, they were motivated to think about serious questions such as Hong Kong history, patriotism, and traditional Chinese values like loyalty and benevolence.
Let’s give a round of applause to the teacher actors and QEF again!
由優質教育基金撥款,愛麗絲劇場實驗室策劃的中學教育劇場始於2007年。自推行以來,這計劃就大受歡迎和得到傳媒的廣泛報導。今年,我們很慶幸能夠參與此計劃。是次教育劇場的主題為「香港日佔時期」。五月廿八日,中四的同學進入了禮堂中央的迷宮裝的佈景,和身穿戲服的演教員,一起進行活動。同學穿梭於三個不同的場景,彷彿看到日軍佔領香港的歷史重現眼前。學生要作故事主角阿忠的智囊,考慮是否要為敵對的日軍工作。參與了教育劇場的同學不但認為活動有趣,也能刺激他們思考嚴肅的問題如香港歷史、愛國主義,或挑戰傳統中國價值觀,如「忠」和「仁」。
