Programme Introduction
The No Limits Pilot Creative Training Programme provides local teaching artists with hands-on experience in integrating inclusive practices into the classroom. It aims to support teachers at various stages of their careers, nurture a new generation of inclusive arts talent and promote the long-term development of inclusive practices in Hong Kong.
The programme was held in September and October 2025 in collaboration with Candoco Dance Company, a world-leading, professional inclusive dance organization based in the UK. It introduced two distinct training pathways: a Fundamental course tailored for teaching artists with up to 2 years of experience teaching dance or theatre, and an Advanced course for more experienced teaching artists.
In the Fundamental course, participants delved into the “how to teach” of inclusive teaching –developing practical tools for lesson planning and responding to diverse classroom needs. After the training, teachers are offered opportunities for hands-on experience working with people with disabilities at a local community centre, and will work with their students to co-create community showcases* about their experience.
The Advanced course invites participants to reflect deeply on their teaching journeys and reflect on the question of “why we teach”. Through expanded methodologies, the course supports the creation of inclusive classrooms that are imaginative, reflective and artistically grounded.
* The community showcases will be presented to the public as part of the Jockey Club “No Limits” Education and Community Programme in January and March 2026. Trainers and participants will also share their experience in the sharing sessions.
