Invited by Ms CHUNG Siu-Mui, The Library by soundpocket joined Tai Po Youth Art Festival 2015, and held an Itchy Ear Listening workshop. The workshop attracted elderly, kids and parents, couples and teenagers to participate and use the ears, headphones and drawings to explore listening and sound. Age doesn’t avoid the participants to interact, the surprise from sounds encouraged them to share and ask questions among themselves.

Tai Po Youth Arts Festival 2015 is organized by Tai Po Home Affairs Department and Tai Po District Youth Network, and held at Tai Po Civic Centre and the former Tai Po Government Secondary School from March 27^th to 28^th, 2015.
