Presented by
Kongtinue, a UK-registered CIC, was founded by a team of Hong Kong social workers and educators. They aim to support children who have moved from Hong Kong to the UK, guiding them through cultural and environmental transitions. Even as these youngsters grow up away from Hong Kong, Kongtinue aspires for them to retain their native culture and values. The recent grant from the Greater London Authority empowers them to further their mission, including initiatives like the Hong Kong Cultural Fun Day.
No instructions, no set outcome. Bring your imagination and head outdoors this summer as PlayWorks returns to Pitzhanger for three days of free, child-led play.
This unique event grants Members of Pitzhanger exclusive access to the exhibition before it opens to the general public, and outside of public opening hours.
