This document summarizes a project called "My City and Me" created by the Hakka Community group Shakka Girls. The project's goals were to learn and share Hakka culture with others through video conferences with friends in Russia and Pakistan. It describes some key aspects of Hakka culture like traditional Hakka architecture called Tulou that could house many families, Hakka fabrics, foods like intestines with ginger, and tea. The document also outlines difficulties the group faced like language barriers and scheduling challenges, and provides recommendations for improving similar projects going forward.

Umbrella

30. The oil-paper umbrella originated in China. In
the early Hakka society, it symbolized a blessing for
the woman to “soon, give birth to a son”.
It used to shelter people from rain and
sunlight, as well as to drive the evil
spirits away.

32. In earlier times, everybody,
from children to the elderly,
wore this costume.
In recent years, Blue Shirt has been
worn at Hakka festivals, or Hakka
music and dance performances.

33. Our project
Our difficulties
• It was difficult to translate
words into English.
• It was difficult to find time for
VC.
• It was hard for us to get
together and discuss.
• It was hard for us to do
interviews and to understand
the history.
Suggestions and
Recommendations
• Try to find all the information
in English on the internet.
• Try to find countries that are
closer to do VC
• Try to find common time for
all of us to gather together.
• Try to ask the history teacher
for information first.

watch!!
