Introductory Wood Workshop for Youth is specially designed for young people aged 18-39 who are curious about woodworking but with no experience. After completing the carpentry class, participants mastered the crafting and upcycling methods of discarded wood, improved their creativity and were more willing to use design thinking and upcycling methods to reduce wood waste. In addition, all finished products will be donated to social welfare organizations.
A total of 6 Taster Workshops were held this year. Norman Mak, the person in charge of the Facebook page "環保爸爸的設計生活" was invited as a mentor to teach parents and children to use recycled materials to create unique recycled wooden toys, thus cultivating their awareness of upcycling.
The “Wish ‧ Wood” Scheme encourages students to use their creativity to transform recycled wood into reusable and beautiful objects, and these hands-on experiences allow them to appreciate the value of upcycling old wood and the fun of creative design.
This year, a total of 6 green tours were organized. Student studying for Higher Diploma in Conservation and Tree Management of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) led the participants into the North District Park to learn about local precious tree species and visit the only timber processing factory — Chi Kee Timber Factory, to understand the relationship between local trees and urban life.
This year's "Wish·Wood" Scheme has come to a successful conclusion! A total of 15,000 sets of "Wish·Wood" Kit have been donated to 50 primary and secondary schools! Students creatively used recycled wooden plates to make pen barrels, mobile phone holders, photo frames, etc., and some even took advantage of the festive season to make Christmas decorations, adding warmth to the whole project!
