Legacy transformation — The museum of love

prototype, job training and opportunities, low-income families, BEHub

Organising workshops to promote life and death education and provide job opportunities to women from low-income families

 

 

By organising “legacy transformation” workshops, the venture aims to raise public awareness of life and death education, help the bereaved cope with grief, as well as provide job opportunities to women from low-income families.

Eight workshops will be organised. At the workshops, the bereaved are encouraged to re-sew the clothes of their loved ones into other products (e.g. pillows or key pouches), through which they will receive life and death education. Four training sessions on life and death education and sewing skills will be provided to women from low-income families who, upon completion of training, will be employed to assist social workers in conducting workshops.
