I joined the RSA Student Design Awards with two group mates for our final year project. Our topic was 'Heritage by Design'. We had to design a way for people and communities to better connect to and celebrate heritage.
I suggested that our topic can be "the Umbrella Revolution" as that was just ended at that moment. Then, we supposed that democracy will be the inhibition in the future and started our project.
We decided to use this project to tell young Hongkongers in the future what had happened during the Umbrella Revolution; the importance of democracy; and never forget the sprit and the pursuit of democracy.
