to organise the community art project &#8221; The Joy of Floral &#8220;. By hosting floral art workshops, we aim to engage grassroots women in the community, raise public awareness and use of local floral materials and contribute to sustainable development.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22228 size-large alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00196-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00196-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00196-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00196.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The project also received donations of floral materials from flower shops at the Flower Market and involved nine districts organisations, groups and merchants. Under the project, YM Fleur organises a total of nine floral art workshops from December 2024 to August 2025 to be taught by grassroots women or part-time working mothers who need to stay at home to look after their children. The workshops provide residents living in the Prince Edward district with the opportunity to create floral art. During the process, these women not only get to hone their skills, but also ensure a full and effective connection with the community. They also serve as role models, demonstrating how women from disadvantaged backgrounds can use their strengths to bring more resources to the community. In this way, the project can spread positive values by showing how different social groups can contribute to the community and sustainable development.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22231 size-large alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00292-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00292-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00292-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC00292.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The project will collect the floral artworks created by the residents during the art workshops for display in the community.

Selected floral artworks will be gifted to different members of the community to spread love and blessings.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23a7c02 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"23a7c02\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f08dd1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9f08dd1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6bb921 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"f6bb921\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 2\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/471250371_1005938514906878_5107868796148844709_n-1-700x450.jpg\" alt=\"471250371_1005938514906878_5107868796148844709_n\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 2\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/471250371_1005938514906878_5107868796148844709_n-1-700x450.jpg\" alt=\"471250371_1005938514906878_5107868796148844709_n\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M646 125C629 125 613 133 604 142L308 442C296 454 292 471 292 487 292 504 296 521 308 533L604 854C617 867 629 875 646 875 663 875 679 871 692 858 704 846 713 829 713 812 713 796 708 779 692 767L438 487 692 225C700 217 708 204 708 187 708 171 704 154 692 142 675 129 663 125 646 125Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M696 533C708 521 713 504 713 487 713 471 708 454 696 446L400 146C388 133 375 125 354 125 338 125 325 129 313 142 300 154 292 171 292 187 292 204 296 221 308 233L563 492 304 771C292 783 288 800 288 817 288 833 296 850 308 863 321 871 338 875 354 875 371 875 388 867 400 854L696 533Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d414cad e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d414cad\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bebfa4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3bebfa4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">In the run-up to Christmas last month, YM Fleur was invited to partner with Urban Renewal Authority and Yau Tsim Mong District Office to organise Flower Market Christmas Festive Event at the Flower Market in Prince Edward.

It could cause cosmetic concerns and also increase risk of developing pain conditions.<br><br>Schroth exercise therapy is a specialised form of physical therapy designed to treat scoliosis, originated from Germany in 1921. It focuses on prevention or deceleration of further progress of spinal deformity, stabilisation of spinal corrections in &#8220;three dimensions&#8221;, hoping on avoiding surgical intervention in severe cases.<br><br>According to individual difference on spinal deformity, physiotherapist could design individualised Schroth exercise. Patient will need to learn postural awareness, correct poor posture, learn breathing techniques to open up compressed rib cage and spinal curve. Activation of specific muscles could also assist stabilisation of spine in satisfactory alignment. Apart from working with certified Schroth Therapist to ensure correct technique and reasonable progression, regular and accurate home exercise are also essential.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"rteleft\"> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c95fa0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7c95fa0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-993aa99 elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"993aa99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"185\" height=\"424\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 40 92&#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12828 ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CNY3-e1719900263677.png\" data-aspect=\"0.43478260869565\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13d0e1e elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-ld_imgtxt_slider\" data-id=\"13d0e1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ld_imgtxt_slider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-13d0e1e\" class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider pos-rel text-center lqd-imgtxt-slider-fade\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-inner\" data-active-onhover=\"true\" data-active-onhover-options='{ \"triggers\": \".lqd-imgtxt-slider-nav a\", \"targets\": \".lqd-imgtxt-slider-images .lqd-imgtxt-slider-img\" }'>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-images lqd-overlay z-index-1 pointer-events-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-img elementor-repeater-item-7579641\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"w-100\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<nav class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-nav h4 d-inline-flex\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"reset-ul d-inline-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"d-inline-flex elementor-repeater-item-7579641\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-link d-block pos-rel z-index-2\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-text=\"Discovering YMCA Channel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Discovering YMCA Channel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e536ce5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e536ce5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1609ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c1609ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">YM Activity Highlights \"A Culture of Peace Campaign 2024\" -
