In 16th February (SAT), I will be holding a workshop in
Youth Bike Summit 2019, a conference to gather and share ideas relating to civic engagement, supporting bicycling as a catalyst for the health of our communities.
As one of the events, my workshop invites the public to paint messages on bike scraps to arouse attention on bike thefts, especially call for actions in reporting. At the same time, discussion will be held on exploring the possibility of alternatives and humanity approaches in easing bicycle crime, topics such as:
How would you communicate with thieves if you have a chance to engage with them?
Could forgiveness and belief in human kindness be a way to intervene criminal issues?
After the workshop, I will donate all the bike components to local bike shops for refurbishment and charity sale, which will also serve as mobile campaigns towards the general public.
If you are a bike victim and would like to donate any bike remanent, or have your messages shown on a bike, please do not hesitate to email me at mandywongwai@gmail.com. Any shipping fee will be covered.
