"Ming Ri Institute for Arts Education"
has been set up in 2002 after renaming
from "Ming Ri Theatre Company". Having experienced
different stage of attempt --- the amateur drama group
"Anonymity Dramatic Club" in 1984 and Hong Kong's
first professional children theatre company "Ming
Ri Theatre Company" in 1996, the institute has been
developed to a non-profit-making charitable organization
emphasizing the importance of both arts and education
in the 21st century.
We deeply believe that the art of drama is a key element
to cultivate creativity, ability of problem solving, abstract
thinking and the sense of cooperation. All these are the
characteristics of a "all-rounded person". It
is essential for the educational reform in the 21st century.The
key element includes several aspects namely the requirements
of learning to learn, learning in creativity, life-wide
learning and lifelong learning,

which can be fostered by artistic activities
and art education. Arts are the social need in the high
educational standard and rich community. It is also what
people long for when they are satisfied by the basic necessities
and hope to enhance their creativity and improve their
living qualities.
Ming Ri Institute for Arts Education provides services
about arts and education through her subordinate organizations
which are: "Ming Ri Theatre", "Arts Education
Centre", "Puppet School", "International
Puppetry Arts Exchange Centre".
The birth of the institute that belongs to the field of
culture and arts, as well as the field of education is
one of the strategies and responses for the challenging
world. Still, we deeply believe our objective remaining
unchanged in this ever-changing world. The objective is:
-
"Tomorrow's Children, Today's Creation"
