Inmates and Juvenile Delinquents’ Handicraft Exhibition 2025 to Open 25 July (2025-07-22)

The Inmates and Juvenile Delinquents’ Handicraft Exhibition 2025 will be held from 25 July afternoon to 27 July at the Macao Science Center’s Convention Hall. The Correctional Services Bureau hopes to use the exhibition as a platform to showcase inmates and juvenile delinquents’ learning achievements and determination to start afresh, raising support and acceptance from the society toward their social reintegration.

Jointly organized by the Correctional Services Bureau and the Macao Science Center, and in association with the Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Social Welfare Bureau, and the Education and Youth Development Bureau, this year’s exhibition will be themed “Showcasing Talents, Fostering Inclusiveness, Rebuilding Lives”, and will display and sell a large variety of handicrafts – over 6,000 pieces, including hand-knitted sweaters, fabric products, crochet flowers, paper art ornaments, oil paintings, wood and shell carving art, and sawdust sculptures – each uniquely handmade by inmates or juvenile delinquents. Also featured at the exhibition venue are: electronic display boards showing the various offender rehabilitation services offered by the Correctional Services Bureau, the Social Welfare Bureau and the Education and Youth Development Bureau, as well as 13 booth games at the Heart-shaped Tree Square that are specially designed by a number of government departments, social service organizations, and business entities. The Correctional Services Bureau’s care buddy, Shiny, will also be at the exhibition venue to have fun with members of the public. We warmly invite the public to visit the exhibition and show their support.

This year’s exhibition will be held on 25 to 27 July. The opening times will be from 13:00 to 18:00 on 25 July and 10:00 to 18:00 on 26 and 27 July. Admission to the exhibition is free.

Members of the public are welcome for a visit to the exhibition and join us in supporting inmates and juvenile delinquents in their journey toward a new life, and in building a caring and inclusive society.
