SUMMARY:Games for Change Hong Kong Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:Games for Change Hong Kong Festival 2025 \nPlaying at the New Frontiers \n?️ 10:00 – 17:00\, June 7–8\, 2025\n? Library Extension Building\, University of Hong Kong (HKU)\n? Theme: Playing at the New Frontiers \nWe invite you to the first-ever Games for Change Hong Kong Festival\, a two-day gathering of changemakers\, creatives\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, and dreamers who believe in the power of play to spark impact. \nFollowing the success of our sold-out Games for Change APAC-HK event in 2023 and our subsequent interMISSION workshop series\, we’re back with a bold new vision: to explore the new\, better futures within and brought about by interactive media\, and with the license to launch the official Games for Change Hong Kong chapter — proudly\, the first ever local chapter in Asia! \nThe event will feature keynotes\, panels\, hands-on workshops\, and activities with global and regional voices to demonstrate the transformative power of games for education and social impact. \nThat’s why this year\, we’re going bigger and deeper. With the theme “Playing at the New Frontiers”\, our 2025 festival expands beyond games in education to examine a broader spectrum of interactive mediums for social impact and education\, as well as urgent adjacent topics in the game industry itself — from diversity and inclusion and regional representation to the power of interactive media in addressing issues such as climate change\, well-being\, and human creativity. \nThis year\, we welcome not only game designers and impact practitioners but also teachers\, professors\, researchers\, and industry professionals who are working both within and adjacent to the world of games. \nWhether you’re an educator\, student\, creative technologist\, game developer\, or simply someone who believes that games can do more than entertain — if the words Games for Change resonate with you\, this festival is for you. \nSupported and co-organised by HKU Common Core\, the event is FREE for all HKU staff\, students\, family and friends. \nUse the special code HKUG4CHK25 for FREE Access.  \nGet your tickets now! >>https://g4chk2025.eventbrite.com/

SUMMARY:Chinese Martial Arts - Culture And The Future
DESCRIPTION:Chinese Martial Arts – Culture And The Future \n19/02/2025 (Wed) 12:45-14:20 @ LE3 \nJoin us for an inspiring lecture with Kung Fu Master Rudy Ibarra\, as he shares his journey into Chinese Martial Arts and Kung Fu and its profound connection to Chinese cultural heritage. Master Ibarra will share how Kung Fu has acted as a cultural ambassador and reflect on how it serves as a living link into Chinese values\, identity\, and history. The talk will also highlight the practical aspects of Kung Fu for today’s world\, comparing it with other martial systems and types emphasising its relevance for the future\, despite modern skepticism of “Traditional Arts”. He will share his experiences training in Beijing and Fuzhou and teaching in NYC and now in Hong Kong as a foreigner. Master Ibarra will focus on his specialisation in Ziranmen\, or “Natural Style\,” and offer a live demonstration\, ending with a Q&A. \nMaster Rudy Ibarra is a distinguished martial artist with over thirty-five years of experience. As a child\, he was inspired by iconic Hong Kong Kung Fu movies like “36 Chambers”\, “5 Venoms\,” and the American TV series “Kung Fu”\, which exposed him to Buddhist\, Daoist\, and Chinese philosophy. Starting his martial arts journey in 1985\, he earned two black-belts in traditional Okinawan Karate. After having researched and understood the Chinese roots of Karate\, he began studying Chinese martial arts in New York City’s Chinatown in 1995 and later met a teacher from Fuzhou\, who introduced him to the rare art of Ziranmen. His commitment to mastering Chinese martial arts took him to Beijing Physical Education University in 1998 to study martial methods and again in 2001 to Tsinghua University to deepen his language studies and his knowledge of the internal martial arts. He also travelled to Hunan and Fujian Province researching Ziranmen\, eventually becoming the first Westerner formally accepted as a disciple by Grandmaster Lu Yao Qin of Ziranmen. In 2013\, he settled in Hong Kong and continues to teach Ziranmen\, embodying and promoting the profound cultural and philosophical roots of Chinese martial arts. Rudy holds a BFA with Honours from Pratt Institute. \n  \nAll are welcome.  \nSpaces are limited. Please sign up at this link.

Burnett: Dr Daniel C. Burnett is the Executive Director of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance\, a recognised blockchain leader and prominent standards expert. With over two decades of experience in web and Internet standards\, Daniel has a stellar reputation as an action-oriented leader helping to build ecosystems for blockchain and the standards that drive interoperability and adoption. He has served as a Blockchain Standards Architect at ConsenSys\, an Ethereum-focused blockchain organisation where he developed standards that enabled businesses to take advantage of blockchain’s potential.\n\n  \n\nMs Jamilya Kamalova: Jamilya Kamalova is a researcher at Kleros.io\, specialising in decentralised dispute resolution. She is a PhD candidate in Blockchain & Law\, affiliated with Kleros.io\, Blockchaingov.eu\, and Université Paris 2 Panthéon Assas.

Jamilya’s academic research encompasses blockchain governance\, decentralised dispute resolution\, constitutionalisation\, and legal regulatory regimes.\n\n  \n\nDr Tom McDonald: Tom is a media anthropologist who is dedicated to using ethnographic engagement to gain a deeper understanding of how digital technologies\, media\, and material culture are transforming various aspects of human life in China and beyond. He joined the Department of Sociology at HKU in August 2015\, and prior to that\, he was a Research Associate at the Department of Anthropology\, University College London. Tom’s research has increasingly focused on economic concerns\, particularly in light of the rapid convergence between digital money and media in China and the wider world. He has recently completed two major projects in this area. The first project examines the adoption of digital payment and consumer finance platforms and their impact on financial subjectivities. The second project explores the potential of digital money in facilitating everyday cross-boundary money transactions. Currently\, Tom is in the early stages of a new project that examines how NFTs are transforming processes of collection\, exchange\, and production in the Hong Kong art market.\n\nDate: 30 October\, 2023 (Monday) \nTime: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nVenue: MB150\, Main Building \nPlease register at https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?ueid=90987 before Oct 29\, 2023.
