The Creative Learning and Hong Kong Culture and Society Project (CLHKCSP), funded by Teaching Development Grant, UGC and The University of Hong Kong, began in September 1999 and serves as a sub-division of the Hong Kong Culture and Society Programme (HKCSP). It seeks to offer a new direction in the teaching and learning of Hong Kong culture and society by bringing scholars from around the world to form a network and community for developing innovative teaching programmes. As Hong Kong has entered a new age and a new phase in its development, it is time for the local society to study Hong Kong history and society seriously and ask questions about the roles that Hong Kong has played in the past and will play in the future. A deeper and multi-faceted understanding of Hong Kong culture and society is indispensable for the local community in general, and university undergraduates and postgraduates in specific, who in turn, undertake the role of teaching our younger generation. To enhance the teaching and learning quality for young scholars and potential teachers, we aim at creating a long-term network and community of scholars and teachers to pursue and stimulate interests in Hong Kong studies. We believe that sustained and coordinated inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration is essential for creating a more innovative teaching programme for enhancing general education in Hong Kong. To achieve these aims, we are preparing innovative learning packages that fully utilizes multimedia technology. Through these, we hope to make Hong Kong culture and society an exciting and illuminating programme for teachers and students alike.

     This creative website Cyber Culture Express is also designed for long-term use. Subsequent to the publication of a series of textbook readers on Hong Kong studies, it aims at providing information on teaching materials, research, hyperlinks, and directories on various fields such as literature, history, social and urban studies, cultural studies, and other subjects of general education. It is expected that study guide materials, including further readings and activities, can facilitate the learning of Hong Kong culture and society. This website will help instigate a self-learning approach, in which students can have the advantage of having queries answered immediately, while responding to visual as well as written materials in a creative manner.
