How can arts students—whether in secondary school, at university, in postgraduate programmes, or already in the workplace—put humanistic thinking into practice in their everyday lives? How do we train and refine ourselves through repeated attempts, setbacks, and choices to become "changemakers" in our own daily contexts?

 

Celebrate the launch of BA in Public Humanities Programme with an evening of music and sharing featuring Dr. Leung Ka Yan Serrini. Starting from the everyday life of arts students, we will imagine together how humanistic values can be turned into concrete decisions and actions that reshape ourselves, those around us, and the wider public. Join us on this special night where music meets the humanities, and recharge your body and mind on this shared journey of learning, exploration, and growth!
