Since 2009, Chung Ying Theatre Company has co-organised the “Community Oral History Theatre Project” with Leisure and Cultural Services Department and a number of elderly service organisations, for 8 consecutive years. The Project aims at gathering personal experiences and valuable recollections of the elderly, writing scripts with the oral history information that is collected, and providing an opportunity for the elderly to act out their stories on stage themselves.

The Project has been implemented in Sham Shui Po, Kwun Tong and Islands District (Tai O), Eastern District, Shatin, Central and Western District, Sai Kung and Kowloon City. It has a goal to encourage active participation in arts and cultural activities by the elderly. It is also hoped that young people will be able to gain an understanding from the performances by the elderly of how the older generation grew up, and reflected upon their own lives.
