【Project Background】
The Joint-U Playground Builder Project aims to recruit passionate students from different universities to organise activities for children in Hong Kong, to build playground in developing countries and to promote children's play right both locally and globally.
Since 2016, the University & College YMCA Department has led more than 120 university students to the Philippines, Cambodia, Mongolia and Chiang Mai to build 7 playgrounds respectively, serving more than 10,000 children. Apart from overseas playground construction, our department has launched a local children's service named “Handmade Playground” in 2018, which aims to address the problem of “lack of play” and internet addiction among children in Hong Kong by upcycling different eco-friendly materials into therapeutic playground facilities. The project has brought immense impact to children, and it was well recognised by the Agency For Volunteer Service in 2020.
