Service Objetive:
Caritas Jockey Club Artkids Studio is a platform combining art and dyslexia service, funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and organised by Caritas Hong Kong.
"There is right and wrong in exams, but not in art.” We believe every child is born with creativity and potential. By entitling our dyslexic students “Artkids”, we anticipate the power of art will help students to explore their unique personalities and boundless possibilities.
The project aims to provide progressive and diversified art training in which Artkids can build up their learning motivation, self-awareness and self-expression, cultivate their knowledge and confidence, hence stimulate the imagination of their future. Through collaborative art services and showcases, we endeavor to spread the creations and spirit of Artkids to every corner of Hong Kong. “There are no disabilities, only possibilities!”
