Street Poppy

Street Poppy Graffiti Art – because it’s fun and creative and a cool way to spend an afternoon! Values – each StreetPoppy session takes a value (e.g. WHO PARTICIPATES?

StreetPoppy is a “non-profit-free-to-participate” program that works with at-risk youth from deprived communities in Hong Kong to teaching graffiti art and educating values to participants at the same time. StreetPoppy是一個兒童藝術推廣及品德教育的計劃，以「每月一主題」（如謙虛、責任、勇氣等）形式每月舉辦一次，藉著不同主題令參加者思考及建立正確的價值觀，同時希望以藝術啟發他們的創意思維。StreetPoppy將會邀請不同的塗鴉導師到場，親自指導塗鴉的基本技巧，令參加者可以輕鬆互動的形式享受整個過程。

WHY STREETPOPPY? humility/ courage /

integrity) as the monthly theme. Part of each session is spent by the participants thinking and discussing what the monthly value means to them before painting a piece of graffiti art that represents this. Participants learn about what values mean and represent to others, how they can benefit from them in their daily lives and why having a set of strong values or principles is important. Combining values with graffiti art is a fun and engaging way to learn, play and be creative. Participants come through charity partners that in turn work directly with at-risk youth within deprived communities in Hong Kong. WHAT IF I WANT TO SUPPORT STREETPOPPY?
