Launched in October 2017, the Project has offered a series of training workshops that covered research techniques, strategy of itinerary design, and presentation skills, etc. to 40 students to become docents. Besides, these students joined the Old Town Central guided tour organised by Walk in Hong Kong, partner of this Project, in mid-November. They paid visits to the Central and Sheung Wan districts with two veteran docents to review the history of Hong Kong over the past century and acquire tour guiding skills.
Phase two of docent training will take place in January and February 2018, whereby the participating students are expected to finalise their route design and tour details, and get themselves prepared for the actual cultural tours to be held from March to May.
