5 November 2023
The Drainage Services Department (DSD) supported the HK Walls x Community activity, a part of the Life Education Community Promotion Program "Walk Together, Create Together" , organised by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council. The DSD opened partial exterior walls of its facilities in Kai Tak, Tin Shui Wai, and Pak Shek Kok for the participating youth to create murals from 5 November to 30 December 2023. The programme aimed to engage youngsters in community participation, and encourage them to design creative solutions for communities in need in order to foster youngsters’ empathy, self-confidence, and resilience. In addition to providing a platform for young people to showcase their talents, the activity also added an artistic atmosphere to the community and integrated the DSD’s facilities into the community.
Video documenting the process of mural creation was broadcast on 19 January 2024. To view the video (Cantonese only), please visit the link below:
