The first session of A Walk in Community with I·CARE organised by this Centre was successfully held on 6 October. The participating CUHK students went to Tin Zi Zok Wai, a community-based cooperation platform located at Tin Shui Wai, to learn about its daily operation. They also visited two community economies in the locality, namely Tin Sau Bazzar and Herb Garden. The former manifests itself as a community market offering affordable shopping choices for local residents, while the latter is a neighbourhood garden which encourages community planting and promotes environmental greening. Participants also collaborated with members of Tin Zi Zok Wai to produce indigo-dyed handkerchiefs and cotton bags, and exchanged views on district economic issues.
To echo with the theme A Walk in Community with I·CARE, this activity allows students to get in touch with the community and to understand various new initiatives on developing a sustainable community.
