Freedom Ball Goes BIG this Sunday in Shatin

What are you doing Sunday? Want to play with balls in one of Hong Kong’s parks? Want to break the rules? Read on.



The largest Freedom Ball event ever will be held on 22nd November from 11.30 am to 2.30 pm at Shatin Park.

Freedom Ball takes the campaign to open up Hong Kong’s parks and public spaces to the next level.

“We now have one thousand balls at our disposal. We only had a few balls when we challenged the rules before,” said David Biddlecombe, who started the movement.

A parent and educator, David started the movement last year after becoming frustrated with the excessive regulation of Hong Kong parks. “From school textbooks to park signs, we’re constantly telling children all the things they can’t do in parks. We want to bring some positivity to public space.”

David invites everyone to join him on Sunday, grab a ball, and play.

 

有史以來最大型的自由波活動將於十一月二十二日十一點三十分至二點三十分在沙田公園舉行。此舉旨在將自由波活動帶到更高層次,令香港公園及公共空間的使用及開放得到更廣泛的關注。

David Biddlecombe,自由波活動的發始人說〝我們己準備了一千個波可随時使用。我們之 前的挑戰行動只有几個波。〞

David去年開始進行自由波行動。作為一位父親和一名教育工作者,他實在對香港公園的過多規條忍無可忍。他概嘆：無論是學校教科書或者公園指引,我們不斷教肓下一代他們不能在公園做什麽。我們只是希望每個市民都更能享受公共空間。David 誠意邀請各位一同參與星期日的行動,放飛自由波。
