The YMCA is offering a range of courses to ensure that you have an artistic summer. The YMCArts in Education Project classes have been offered throughout the year for the past two years and have proved popular.

The summer courses will run from June 17 to October 17, with most activities taking place over the weekends. The classes, which will be taught in Cantonese, are aimed at those aged between 14 and 25.

The offerings range from basic guitar lessons to a fashion body art movement course and puppet theatre classes. No experience is required for the guitar classes, where they'll also teach you how to sing while playing. You will also learn to create your own music.

There is also a media programme, where you will learn how to take pictures and videos to express yourself and create a story with the images without using words.

If making music and videos interests you, then you'll probably love RE-play MTV where participants will learn how to produce a music video using footage that they have filmed. Participants are recommended to bring their own digital video camera.

One of the more popular classes is the fashion body art movement. This course, which is only available during the summer, teaches students that fashion is found not only in clothes, but also in the use of body language and movement.
