In March 2009, AAA initiated Learning Labs to equip young people, aged 15-18, to think and talk about contemporary art, while simultaneously considering its relationship to the world in which we live. With the support of a team of university volunteers from arts-related disciplines, AAA’s Learning & Participation staff presented monthly Labs, facilitated by a different art professional each month, for a group of 30 high school and university students. The programmes were intended to empower Hong Kong’s youth to approach and perceive art with better understanding and appreciation and to create a platform for dialogue, exchange, and support.

Following is a list of topics covered in Learning Lab 2009:
