Welcome aboard the journey of ‘A Sensory Voyage’, a groundbreaking four-week innovative enrichment programme* by PMQ, unleashing creativity through exploration of the human senses. Little Explorers aged 7 – 13 will have fun participating in fascinating workshops and creative project-making at PMQ, led by top experts in the creative field.

Discover senses
Many astonishing, groundbreaking creative experiences await our Little Explorers in this painstakingly curated series of inspirational workshops, covering photography, music, ceramics, yoga and food culture. Their sensory systems are fully exercised, from Sight, Sound Taste, Scent and Touch, to non-traditional senses such as the sense of Balance. They have the opportunity to explore the infinite possibilities of all senses with Masters from Hong Kong and abroad. This inspires their creative minds and widens their perspective, within the creative ambience of PMQ.

Unleash potential
Our Little Explorers will never see the world the same way again after completing ‘A Sensory Voyage’ innovative enrichment programme. They will share the results of their creative gestation in a dedicated showcase, where they can display their unique insights at PMQ.

‘A Sensory Voyage’ innovative enrichment programme consists of three parts.

• Part 1: Initiation Workshops* (5 sessions)
  First part is devoted to five sessions of Initiation Workshops* on five specially designed topics, which serve as the foundation for Part Two and enable the Little Explorers to fully experience the human senses through these fascinating activities.

• Part 2: Creative Lab (3 sessions)
  Led by specialist tutors, Little Explorers will join three workshops and find pleasure in developing special group projects on one of the five topics pre-selected by them.

• Part 3: ‘Feast Voyage’ Showcase
  Programme projects will be presented to the Public in Part Three, when the ‘Feast Voyage’ Showcase is organised at PMQ.

The five topics for ‘A Sensory Voyage’ are as follows:

1. Know It & Cook It! – by Edward Yip & Craig Au-yeung (Guest tutor)
2. Stories Behind the Lenses – by Brian Ching
3. Go Little Yogis – by Dee (Diana Cheung)
4. Ceramic Feast – by Yokky Wong
5. What is Sound? – by Sascia Pellegrini

Topic 1: Know It & Cook It! (2 hours)
Instead of worrying about or even casting strict control on your children’s diet, why not educate them on what they’re eating? Masterminded by curator Craig Au Yeung and hosted by assistant curator Edward Yip, our Little Explorers will get to know their favourite snacks from inside out in these workshops right at the Taste Library. Let children discover and experience their favourite food, and in turn the enticing food would fuel their imagination and creativity for their own recipes.

Topic 2: Stories Behind the Lenses (3 hours)
Surprisingly, a petite camera can serve as a bridge between children and the vast world, widening their spectacles. We wear our human ‘lenses’ at all times, and we see the world through them. Yet there are still thousands of possibilities behind optical lenses! Brian Ching is going to show you children the way to their own photographic world in a most unconventional and creative way.

Topic 4: Ceramic Feast (2 hours)
The clay has hungered for your touch! Yokky Wong will not only share her experience and craftsmanship behind ceramics, but also teach the Little Explorers how to make dining wares, decorative pieces, and more.
