Hong Kong International Visual Arts Education Symposium 2026 — Visual Innovation
The symposium is organised by the Arts Education (AE) Section of the Curriculum Development Institute (CDI), the Education Bureau (EDB), with support from 13 local universities. Themed “Visual Innovation”, the symposium aims to enhance the learning and teaching of visual arts and design, facilitate participants’ grasp of the latest developments in the design field and the application of innovative technologies, cultivate visual thinking and higher-order thinking skills, strengthen vocational and professional education and training, and provide a platform for exchange among teachers and students.
Renowned scholars and experts in design and technology will be invited to deliver keynote speeches, facilitate workshops, and provide consultation sessions. An accompanying exhibition showcases remarkable designs by primary and secondary students and undergraduates’ designs selected from the “University Worldwide Outstanding Design Award”. Programme information of university departments will also be introduced, and for the first time the EDB will be presenting the development of visual arts education in Hong Kong over the last 70 years with display panels.
