NGO Collaboration: Music Arts Workshops for Underprivileged Families
Date: 2025–2026 (Ongoing)
•Venue/Target: Local NGOs in Hong Kong (Disadvantaged families, infants, and toddlers)
•Details & Social Impact: In collaboration with local NGOs, we regularly organize interactive music arts workshops for disadvantaged families, including single-parent families, low-income households, and infants. These workshops guide young children and their parents to engage with music in a relaxed and fun way.
