Ma Shi Po, located in Fanling, is the only remaining agricultural land in Hong Kong. In recent years, due to real estate development, the villagers of Ma Shi Po Village are facing forced eviction. With the rapid development of modern cities, the living space of village residents is gradually shrinking, which is a topic worth thinking about in Hong Kong today…
To this end, RTHK’s “General Knowledge Network” , in conjunction with the Northeast New Territories Concern Group , organized a “Fanling Living Space” teacher tour group to guide teachers to understand the problems of urban and rural development in Hong Kong. The event has the following features:
- In line with the theme of the Liberal Studies course “Hong Kong Today”
- Get out of the classroom and cooperate with field trips to deepen your understanding of the subject
- Dedicated guided tour to gain an in-depth understanding of the village ecology
- Encourage teachers to lead students to outdoor learning after the inspection
