The design team of Tally & friends explained the concept behind the series. Ms Shirley LOO, Convenor of the EOC Community Participation and Publicity Committee and veteran writer, shared her experience and knowledge on how to foster more effective communication between parents and children. Students of CNEC Lau Wing Sang Secondary School, participating school of the Jockey Club Equal Opportunities Drama Project run by Prospects Theatre, were invited by the EOC to turn the illustrated children story into drama performance.
Professor Cees DE BONT, Dean of PolyU Design, Swire Chair Professor of Design, and Alex Wong Siu Wah Gigi Wong Fook Chi Professor in Product Design Engineering of PolyU said, “’Tally & Friends’ uses design to communicate an important message: disability isn’t a choice, discrimination is.” EOC Chairperson, Professor Alfred CHAN Cheung-ming said, “Children hold the future of our world, and values are the seeds from which behaviour grows. That’s why we must instil in children the values of respect, diversity and equality, so that they will learn to avoid discrimination when they grow up.” Ms Shirley LOO, Convenor of the EOC Community Participation and Publicity Committee and veteran writer, took a photo with students from CNEC Lau Wing Sang Secondary School.
