Published materials in 2002-2003 and activites organised by the 16th ExCo. < Back 2002-2003 16th ExCo Year Last Updated: 11 Sept 2024 Tags: SamariKIDZ, Interflow Camp, Youth Summit #1 Volunteer Training Scheme 2002 "SamariKIDZ" was one of the new projects of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students' Association that year. The word "SamariKIDZ" is a merge from the words "Samaritan" and "Kids". The Good Samaritan is a Biblical character well-known for his charity and compassion for others, while "Kids" refers to our Primary 4 to 6 participants in this scheme. For the previous 4 years, we had geared our Volunteer Training Scheme projects towards students from Form 3 to 5, but that year, we have decided to aim the "SamariKIDZ" project towards younger students in Hong Kong, in order to develop a sense of awareness in serving the needy at a young age. Our goal was to promote the importance of helping others through doing social service. Apart from introducing the fundamental practical skills in organizing social service projects to the participants, we aspired to nurture and embed in the participants the heart and vision to serve the community, by strengthening their personal qualities that are most essential when doing voluntary services. It was our hope that the participants can learn to acquire such virtues and become truly Good Samaritans through participating in the Volunteer Training Scheme 2002-2003 – "SamariKIDZ". Primary 4 to 6 students from approximately 20 primary schools in Hong Kong were invited for this project. #2 Hong Kong Youth Summit 2003 Hong Kong had faced many challenges in recent years, from the bursting of the bubble economy in 1997 to the SARS outbreak early that year, making all of us realised we could no longer afford to be complacent. It was vital for teenagers, on whose shoulders the future rests on, to be socially awared and to have a sense of belonging towards Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Youth Summit was a simulation of the General Assembly of the United Nations: through a series of discussions, participants analysed problems from different perspectives to make realistic proposals for improvement to the Government. This project would enable our youth to think deeply about social issues and realise that they have the ability to contribute to the betterment of our society. Two hundred Forms 4 to 6 students from over fifty-three local and international schools throughout Hong Kong were invited for this project. #3 Interflow Camp 2003 The theme of the Interflow Camp 2003, "World Peace — Let's sPArK it UP!", was to spread the message of World Peace, teamwork and co-operation among participants. We had incorporated a number of challenging Mass Games, which require participants not only to work as a team, but also form coalitions with other groups in order to "survive". Our aim was to stress on promoting Peace among the groups, as well as the importance of working together as a whole. One hundred students ranging from Form 3 to Form 5, from over thirty secondary schools throughout Hong Kong were invited for this project. This camp took place in a Cultural Chinese setting thousands of years ago, where those with strong martial arts skills ruled China. Once upon a time, there were ten Wulin tribes in China who were just as strong as each other, each having its own distinct strengths and qualities and believed that they were better than one another. As a result, the tribes fought to become the strongest and most powerful of them all. Each tribe sends ten of their top leaders to the 3-day Martial Conference to represent their people. They must fulfil many tasks which require not only physical endurance, speed, agility and perseverance but also quick decision-making skills, logical thinking, creativity, grace and intellect. This conference slowly transforms into a war among the ten tribes, forcing them to form allies with other tribes until they reach the ultimate understanding that Peace and Cooperation will be the only way the tribes can utilize their qualities to the fullest. Although the words War and Peace seem to contradict each other, the 3-day Conference (our camp) aims to allow the leaders (our participants) to explore the real meaning of War and Peace, eventually leading them to the conception that progress will only be made amongst groups through cooperation.

And once again this year, the event is to be held in the hopes of consolidating the beliefs of the association. Acting as a platform for the youth, the future leaders of Hong Kong, to exchange views and opinions on current issues of economic and social significance, the Summit aims to inspire participants to develop critical thinking and analytical skills as well as political standpoints. This is to be achieved through a series of leadership group and commission meetings, discussion and debate, informative speeches and seminars by eminent members of the Hong Kong Government and experts in the field. Thus, students will be inspired to analyse current issues from different perspectives, put forward and elaborate solutions in the form of resolutions. Distressingly, Hong Kong has recently been faced with an increasing number of issues, namely the “deep-rooted conflicts”, which begin to threaten the cornerstone values of the city and the beliefs of the general public, amid greater challenges from Mainland China, as well as the rest of the world, in various forms. Bearing the theme “Transcend Formalities, Unearth Possibilities" , the Summit shall look into the limitations that are halting our progress, as well as proposing creative solutions. What we can observe, at this very moment, are the growing hostility among stakeholders in society and serious social issues that are undermining the prosperous future of the city. Thus, this year’s Youth Summit participants will look into conflicts arising in different aspects including Housing, Social Welfare, Hong Kong-Mainland Clashes and more. The Hong Kong Youth Summit 2013 will feature ten different stake-holding sectors of society. Participants will be allocated to different Leadership Groups to put forward resolutions to specific issues through negotiations and discussions. Drafted resolutions will then be proposed, discussed and debated on in the Final Summit. The resolutions will then be sent to the press, the Legislative Council, respective government departments and related organisations such as Home Affairs Bureau, Education Bureau, Environment Bureau, the Commission on Youth and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in an attempt to reflect the views of Hong Kong youths. Target Group 120 students from Secondary 3 to Secondary 5, from schools in Hong Kong The participants should: Display an interest in current affairs Be able to think critically Be outspoken Have heightened social awareness Have an active engagement in school activities Be conversationally fluent in English and Cantonese Tentative Programme Rundown Orientation Day Date: 30th March 2013 (Saturday) Time: 13:00 – 18:00 Day 1 Date: 31st March 2013 (Sunday) Time: 09:30 – 18:00 Venue: University of Hong Kong Day 2 Date: 6th April 2013 (Saturday) Time: 09:30 – 18:00 Venue: University of Hong Kong Day 3 Date: 13th April 2013 (Saturday) Time: 09:30 – 18:00 Venue: University of Hong Kong Final Summit Date: 27th April 2013 (Sunday) Time: 09:30 – 21:00 Venue: University of Hong Kong #4 Interflow Camp 2013 Introduction The Interflow Camp has always been a memorable staple in the Association’s calendar and it receives tremendous support and attention from the educational sector every year. This year, it is scheduled as one of our largest annual projects. The camp provides a valuable opportunity for secondary school students to interact and learn outside the classroom, and share their views and experiences on teen vision. Our aim is to broaden students’ perspective of how they can make a difference to the world, through various interactive services, games and activities. This year, the Camp shall focus on the fundamental values and skills of the upcoming generation. These include social participation and commitment, which we believe are the very essence of personal development in the youth of Hong Kong, and imperative for the success of the society’s future leaders. The main theme of Interflow Camp this year is ‘Ideation’. As a student organization, the HKOSA is always seeking to developing talents in teenagers with the potential to serve the community as leaders. The Interflow Camp of this year will be of an unprecedented nature which guides participants to envisage their future and achieve their life goals, in addition to honing their leadership and communication skills. The theme - “Ideation” carries a significant meaning of formulating the future pathway to succeed and planning for their own life map. Bearing this theme, we would like to introduce a brand new experience to participants - a chance to taste their lives in the future. For instance, they have to face job interviews and challenges brought by their “jobs”, which we believe would be an invaluable chance for secondary students without any prior job experiences. Through “rehearsing” their future in one day, we hope that participants can have more insight into their lives after graduation. Since this 3-day camp will be held in the campus of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the camp would allow participants a glimpse of university life, since the various events would be held at different venues in the campus. Participants are expected to learn more on planning their future via talks and mentorship programmes held during the camp. In conclusion, we hope that this event would assist participants in making an informed decision on the direction of their future pathways, and to inspire them to be a successful leader.

Published materials in 2004-2005 and activites organised by the 18th ExCo. < Back 2004-2005 18th ExCo Year Last Updated: 11 Sept 2024 Tags: Student Leaders of Tomorrow Scheme, Volunteer Training Scheme, Youth Summit, Interflow Camp #1 Student Leaders of Tomorrow Scheme Introduction The theme of this year's Student Leaders of Tomorrow Scheme is "Sweat and Tears on the Road to Success". We aim at inspiring participants' values and roles of comprising society as a preparation of future's career and commitment to the society, and at the same time providing an opportunity for student leaders to learn how to face challenges in their lives. From interviewing eminent leaders of our community, participants can also learn from their experiences and therefore set their own goals and missions. This scheme commenced in late November 2004 when two workshops were held in order to enhance the interviewing and reporting skills of participants. Starting from January 2005, participants had chances to interview outstanding leaders from different sectors of our society, e.g. politics, government, culture, sports, business, social welfare, entertainment, etc. Sharing sessions were held regularly for participants to gain further knowledge from these interviews. A book, which is a collection of the thoughts and reports written by the participants, was also published so as to facilitate the exchange of ideas among participants and to share their learning experiences with the public. Day 1 and 2 The participants gathered in the lecture hall of Diocesan Boys' School on 28th December - Day ONE of SLT. The freezing weather had not cooled their warm and anticipating hearts. The programme started off with a speech given by Mr. Donald Sham, the president of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students' Association. We were honoured to have invited Dr. Donna Chu, the General Education Officer of the General Education Unit of the University of Hong Kong, along with senior reporter, Ms. Phoebe, to conduct a workshop on interviewing skills. Mr. L.Y. Sung also accepted our invitation and gave a talk on presentation skills. Mr. Sung is the chairman of the Chinese Sub-committee of the Hong Kong Schools Music and Speech Festival. Participants came back for another day of learning on 29th December - Day TWO of SLT. They had the chance to learn project management skills in the workshop conducted by Mr. George Lung, the past chairman of the Outstanding Young Persons Association. To finish the day, a talk was given by Ms. Doreen Leung, an awardee of the Outstanding Persons of the World, on leadership skills. Ms. Leung shared her thoughts and views on skills that a leader should possess and taught us all the proper way of treating other people. #2 Volunteer Training Scheme 2005 Introduction The Volunteer Training Scheme (VTS) has always been a memorable sparkle in the Association's calendar and it receives tremendous support and attention from the educational sector now and then. The theme of this year's Volunteer Training Scheme is "SamariTEENs' Effect". The word "SamariTEENS" is derived from the story of a Good Samaritan in the bible. In the story, the Good Samaritan shows his unconditional and selfless love towards the one who is in need. As a student organization, the HKOSA is always keen on developing talents in teenagers who will be serving the community as future leaders. Through the VTS, we want to help teenagers understand more about their roles in society. We expect the VTS to nurture and embed in the participants the heart and vision to serve the community by strengthening their personal qualities that are most essential when doing voluntary services. We hope participants can foresee the effect they could bring out when doing social services, and we believe these are the very essence of personal development and imperative for the future success of teenagers. Day 1 Orientation Day cum opening ceremony Date: 29th January, 2005 Venue: La Salle College Day 2 Day Camp Date: 30th January, 2005 Venue: Lamma Island HKFYG Campsite Day 3 Workshops Date: 19th February, 2005 Venue: St. Joseph's College Service Projects Date: 5th, 29-30th March, 2nd April, 2005 Planned service projects for the elderly Day 4 Date: 30th April, 2005 Venue: St. Joseph's College #3 Hong Kong Youth Summit 2005 The Hong Kong Youth Summit 2005 has been successfully held in March and April 2005. It aims at cultivating students' social conscience and awareness, and provides a channel for the direct reflection of students' opinions and views to the government. We hope through lectures, discussions, visits and resolution drafting, participants can realize that they can make a difference and contribute to the betterment of Hong Kong. This is the 3rd year the HKOSA holds the Hong Kong Youth Summit. This year, our focus is on education, and the theme is "Future in Action". Participants have assumed different roles such as "Teachers", "School Authority", and "Parents", etc. to discuss on local education issues. Our objectives are to arouse students' social awareness, and at the same time stimulate them to look into education issues comprehensively from different viewpoints. This activity has undoubtedly broaden the participants' perspective, and train their skills in expressing themselves in an effective way. We are very glad to have the Hong Kong Youth Summit to be supported by the Wofoo Social Enterprises (WSE) this year. Wofoo Social Enterprises is a not-for-profit entity that advocates and exemplifies the entrepreneurial approach to delivering quality social services through mobilising social capital. WSE strives with its partners to attain the goal of "Harmony amongst people to Build Prosperity of our Home and Country" by effective use of resources and network support. #4 Interflow Camp 2005 With the bright summer days just around the corner, the Hong Kong Outstanding Students' Association cordially invites students from Form Three to Form Five to participate in our masterpiece of the holidays, the Interflow Camp 2005 –Teens' Unlimited. Inaugurated in 1987, the Hong Kong Outstanding Students' Association is a non-profit student organisation which strives to encourage progress and pursuit of real joy in serving the Hong Kong community by stimulating student development in all aspects and participation in social services and charitable causes. The Interflow Camp is always a memorable sparkle in the Associations calendar and receives tremendous support and attention from the educational sector every year. With such bolstering in mind, the Interflow Camp was once again offered and took place from 26th July 2005 to 28th July 2005 at the Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village. Every teenager has unlimited potentials and inner qualities, so by understanding more about themselves, teenagers would be able to soar beyond and think globally with their unlimited enthusiasm, spirit and confidence, and this is the aim of our camp. Through the Camp, we expect our participants to be more conscientious, to take a more pro-active role in global issues, and to act locally to serve the Hong Kong community. Orientation Day - 19th March, 2005 Day One - 2nd April, 2005 Day Two - 9th April, 2005 Day Three - 10th April, 2005 Day Four - 16th April, 2005 Previous Year Next Year

【港孩體驗】坐輪椅遊社區 來回西貢黃大仙要四個鐘？ Date posted: 23/07/2016 根據政府統計處最新數字，香港有57.8萬名傷殘人士，大約佔整體人口8.1%，當中4.5%，即32萬人，都是身體活動能力受限制，日常需依靠輪椅或其他輔助器材出入。香港傑出學生協會早前就舉辦了一個體驗營，要一班來自中產家庭、平日嬌生慣養的名校中學生，扮演社會上不同的弱勢社群，例如傷殘人士、拾荒者及露宿者等，體驗他們日常生活面對的困難。協會會長林惠龍稱，發覺學生近幾年接收的資訊較被動，書本告訴他們貧窮是怎樣，他們就以為真的是這樣，希望可透過該體驗活動給予學生機會，用自己角度，探索多些有關這個社會的事情。 他們第一個考驗是要扮演傷殘人士，兩名分別為聾啞及需要坐輪椅出入的組員，需要一同從西貢出發，用自己的方式，用最便宜的方法去到黃大仙交一份傷殘津貼申請表，路程不算遙遠卻來回用了四個小時，但卻波折重重，到底他們在途中遇到甚麼困難考驗，與無障礙設施又有沒有關係呢？ 記者：黃子配 攝影：伍慶泉

Or do you want to know more about different parties in our society? VolunTEENs 2019 is the BEST choice for you! In VolunTEENs 2019 (VTS19), we hope to inspire students to be actively concerned about the current social issues and prompt evaluation on current assistance for the under-resourced groups, and most importantly, to guide YOU to devise a service project to give back to society. Orientation Day It is the part in which participants could strengthen the relationship with one another. There would be various ice-breaking games prepared for participants. They would also have the opportunity to understand the daily difficulties of their service targets with several specific tasks or games. In order to promote our Association to students, the Executive Committee would also introduce the background of HKOSA and the rationale of this service programme. The programme is expected to initiate reflection in students. As a contrary at the end of this programme, each participant would be invited to share their first impression towards their assigned target group. The video taking would be followed by a training workshop including guest sharing session. Professional social workers or representatives from NGOs would be invited as host this session. Communication skills and proper strategies would be introduced to participants. It is anticipated that the skills taught could be useful in building a harmonious atmosphere with the service target. Excursion Series In this part, different experience sessions would be arranged to participants for them to gain deeper understandings toward their target groups. They would be given the opportunity to visit different organisations according to their own group. Moreover, there would also be sharing sessions conducted by senior OSArs or experienced volunteers to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills on social service. Experiencing sessions like social service organised by Executive Committee would also be provided. Self-initiated project: After empowering participants with the basic skills required in social service, the Association would like participants to actualise their learnings by devising a mini-scale service project targeting at their assigned service partners. Before carrying out the project, participants are required to prepare detailed proposals to be examined by the Executive Committee and the Organising Committee. They would be assigned to serve different groups for twice during weekends, allowing them to evaluate the first visit before the final visit. Participants should, at the same time, film video of 5-10 minutes to arouse public awareness regarding different target groups. Closing Ceremony Participants would be given the stage to present their service projects and learnings from the programme, they would also show their video filmed to other participants and guests. A panel of judges would choose one group as the best performing team according certain criteria. The winning team may have the opportunity to join an overseas service trip. Target groups - The Elderly - The Underprivileged - The Disabled - The Mentally Disabled Programme objectives - To inspire students to be actively concerned about current social issues - To aspire students to regularly serve our community. - To enable participants to understand their social obligations.

In addition to enabling participants to understand their preference in tertiary education, this programme would also provide mock interview sessions to allow students to gain first-hand experience. In order to accommodate the needs of students more specifically, the event will be tailor-made for several university programmes including medicine, law, and business to equip them with the essential knowledge required for the interviews of these programmes. In the Mock Interview, we are delighted to have seniors to share their experiences on their studies and their university lives. You can raise any question to them and acquire insights before re-arranging your JUPAS choices. Each participant would have a chance to familiarise themselves with the interview practices with individual comments from our mock interviewers.✨✨ . This is certainly an exclusive opportunity that you shouldn’t miss to best prepare yourself for university interviews and to display the best version of yourself in the real interview! 🚨 #3 Summer Camp: Explore Thyself Introduction Leading lives of hustle and bustle, students nowadays have hardly any time to slow down their pace of living and reflect on themselves. Their schedules are filled with supplementary classes, tutorial courses, ECA activities, you name it. Some of them, if not most, study merely due to obligations but not realising their goals and aspirations. With the theme of "Explore Thyself", this year's summer camp intends to act as a platform where participants could slow down, learn about themselves, and devise an embryonic idea of their own aspirations. For those who are not sure about their future, we hope they can gain some more ideas about their careers; For those who have already found their aspirations, we hope they can reconfirm their choice or know more about the chosen career. We understand that it is not possible for the participants clearly identify what their goals are but we still hope that the programme could provide them the chance to explore multifarious options available. Programme Details Summer Camp "Explore Thyself" comprises a series of training activities and events which can help the participants explore multifarious career pathways and have a chance to zoom out from their hectic lives and ponder on their future. We have four sub-themes for the programme and we would have a different sub-themes for each day of the programme. Sub-themes 1. Understanding yourself 2. Priorities 3. University goals 4. Career Orientation Day (the first sub-theme): On the Orientation Day, participants would be divided into different groups. There would be a series of ice-breaking games to help participants understand one another and mingle with other group-mates, Organising Committee and Executive Committee. There would also be sharing by Ms. Ava LAU, School Development Officer, CLAP for Youth@JC to help participants deepen their reflection on how their difference in personality varies their career choices.. Experiencing Camp: With the first touch of their group mates and elevated understanding of themselves on the Orientation Day, the participants would further delve into learning more about their priorities and goals. Simultaneously, by indulging themselves in the entertaining yet inspiring activities, they could unwind despite the hectic study lives. Highlights of the camp Night performance cum guest sharing: Not only do we want to help our participants reflect on themselves, but we also hope to help them relax from their hectic lives. Therefore, a night performance would be held to create a relaxing atmosphere. Performance may include live band, singing and dancing. City Hunt A city hunt programme serving as entertaining and ice-breaking purposes would be held on the first day of the camp for the participants to cooperate with their group mates to plan a route starting from a secondary school on HK Island to the campsite in Sai Kung. It is hoped that after this activity participants could build rapport with each other and have a chance to rediscover the landmarks of HK. Opportunity Cost Participants would choose 10 things out of 15 things in a list we provided to do in their Post-DSE life, then explain the rationale behind their choices, repeating this process until the most important thing is left in the list. They would then realise their priorities in life when making decisions. Sims Society game will be included in this session. Participants could play the life monopoly with respect to the academic level, job occupation and happy index during the limited time. By performing this game, participants are expected to reflect their daily life and future plan with a series of choices and opportunities given. Field based outing During that period, participants are free to choose their interested field for their outing. Fields may include medicine, law, business and humanities. For example, in a medicine outing, participants may have the chance to attend a medical seminar in a university or to visit the medical school of HKU or CUHK. A business outing may be a one day job shadowing of senior OSArs working in business field. Closing assembly (Final Production): After the orientation day and the experiencing camp, participants are required to come up with a Final Production. The purpose of the Final Production is for participants to consolidate their experience in the programme. Students are encouraged to explore different forms and styles, such as writing of different genres, drama, short film, or performance. Participants would finish their Final Production under the guidance of Organising Committee. We hope students can conclude and reinforce what they have learnt and reflected during the programme through the Final Production. Previous Year Next Year
