The following is issued on behalf of the Family Council:
The Family Council's Roving Interactive Drama Series premiered at St. Paul's College this afternoon (February 18), with around 250 audience members in attendance. The drama series is organised by the Family Council and the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau, and supported by the Education Bureau.
The interactive drama revolves around the theme of "strengthening family cohesion and solidarity". In the drama, Nicky But, the elder brother of the But's Family, is challenged by the smart home system "AI Picasso". To avoid his identity being taken up by "AI Picasso", Nicky must win the e-sports game designed by the smart home system. The drama is filled with lively and interesting interactive elements. Not only can the audience partner with Nicky or "AI Picasso" to compete against each other during interactive sessions testing their understanding of family core values, they can also vote on the development and ending of the story.
Speaking at the event, the Chairperson of the Family Council, Ms Melissa Pang, expressed her hope that the interactive drama could promote the loving-family culture and the importance of strong family relationships to the young people. To bring positive impacts to family relationships, she also encouraged the public to praise and thank their family members more often, and to take actions to show them their care.
The Council hopes that the interactive sessions in the drama, such as role-playing, problem-solving, and voting on the ending, will inspire young people to empathise and think from different family members' perspectives, so that they can better understand and reflect on the three family core values, namely "Love and Care", "Respect and Responsibility" and "Communication and Harmony".
Following the premiere, 40 to 60 touring performances will be arranged in different secondary schools across the territory from February to July to promote the culture of loving families among young people.
