Thus, it is not simply a hiking activity. We will introduce participants to the most historical and authentic side of Hong Kong, facilitating them to appreciate this city’s beauty and charisma from different perspectives. A series of organized activities will help the participants discover their full potential and guide them to re-evaluate their life goals. At the same time, students are required to investigate one specific social issue when they visit each of the designated location. There will be discussions and opportunities to share individual experiences as to enhance the students’ understanding towards the issues. SiMlife is an adventurous camp that will be held from 25th to 28th March, 2016. Participants are invited to visit three secluded places in Hong Kong, which have yet to be explored by the general public. The main theme of SiMlife is “Explore Hong Kong, Explore Yourself”. We aim to encourage students to find a balance between their study and leisure. We believe that this program will greatly develop participants’ attitude, intelligence, leadership, adversity quotient and fitness. At the same time, we will bring up social issues when visiting different places to achieve our aim of exploring Hong Kong. During the trip, students are able to observe the chosen spot and have a discussion about an issue. Students can also share their learning outcomes at the end of this programme. From this project, participants can develop their skills of thinking outside the box when planning their future. We are sure that this is a valuable opportunity for students to challenge oneself, as well as to overcome various obstacles. SiMlife is a fun activity to participate in. Students will definitely form new friendships and gain rich experiences in our intensive program and close interaction with one another. All in all, our ultimate goal is to allow students to reflect on their lives. *The quota of SiMlife is very limited, we have got quality group leaders and organising committees.

It is a social experiencing project that will be held in July. The main objectives of “Explorez 2016” are to provide a platform for students to understand current social conditions and try to showcase their learning outcomes through different social platforms. As the future leader of Hong Kong, the youth generation is responsible to overcome current social problems like social inequality and unhappiness of Hong Kong people. Thus, our association would like to organize this project to achieve those objectives mentioned.As the well-known youth organization in Hong Kong, we would like to lead other youths to explore more about the society and provide a platform to practice their learning. Also, as the organization which gathers countless student elites, one of our main objectives is to learn from real-life experiences and contribute to the community as much as our capabilities support. In this project, we will try to investigate different stakeholders of the society. This project acts as the learning process of these issues and our participants will be able to get the first-hand information. It does not only facilitate students to understand the issue better, but it will also stimulate students to think more about these issues. Afterwards, we hope they can use their knowledge to share with others to raise awareness. We believe that this program can act as a milestone for students to become change-makers, ultimately creating positive impacts to society. The project will be divided to three different parts. Firstly, an experiencing camp which lasts for four days from 11th July to 14th July. Students will have a fundamental understanding towards the four focus group, namely the disabled, the impoverished, the ethnic minorities and the new immigrants. Each group will have their specific role according to the theme on different days of the activity and they will have to experience the real living situation of the four focus groups. Furthermore, our designed activities with different tasks and missions of “social demonstration” will also be provided in an attempt to enrich participants’ experience. In light of this, we expect our participants to experience the difficulties that our target groups faced and eventually derive feasible solutions to address the social issues. Afterwards, students are required to experience an exploring session and they may need to visit different organizations and do some researches towards their focus groups. Finally, they will need to finish a “micro-film” and present their learning in the closing ceremony. Orientation Day Date: 2 July 2016 (Saturday) Venue: The University of Hong Kong Time: 14:00 – 18:00 Experiencing Camp Date: 11th - 14th July 2016 (Monday to Thursday) Venue: Po Leung Kuk Pak Tam Chung Holiday Camp & Outing Time: All day Closing Ceremony Date: 24th July 2016 (Sunday) Venue: TBC Time: 14:00 – 18:00 Application Eligibility & Selection Criteria All students from Form 3 to Form 6 (Year 9 – Year 13) are welcome to apply.

Published materials in 2010-2011 and activites organised by the 24th ExCo. < Back 2010-2011 24th ExCo Year Last Updated: 11 Sept 2024 Tags: International Convergence, Community Outreach, Youth Summit, Interflow Camp #1 International Convergence 2010 Introduction The theme of this year’s International Convergence is ‘ Globe in a Scope '. To be a well-rounded person, we believe that young people must explore more on global issues, local affairs and their own social circle in order to improve themselves. This year's International Convergence would therefore, be the first step of our endeavours. In sight of this, our focus of this year's project is “Multi-cultural Mindset”. In addition to the previous elements, an International Day would be held where international issues would be discussed in the cultural perspective of the different countries. Being a world citizen, we believe that we have the responsibility to respect and learn more about different cultures to appreciate the uniqueness behind different cultures. Through looking at a country from a native’s perspective, participants’ understanding of the countries’ culture will be deeply fostered. With the in-depth discussion at the end, we hope that the participants can gain new insights, have a growth mindset, and be objective when they encounter international issues in the future or make conclusions. The scheme will last for approximately five weeks, during which the participants will learn about the culture, history, language and current affairs related to an assigned country. It is hoped that through this scheme, participants will learn to appreciate different cultures and develop an interest in the cultural practices of other countries along with like-minded students from different schools. Countries Germany, India, Iran, Israel, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Thailand Target Group 80 students from Secondary 2 to Secondary 4, from secondary schools in Hong Kong Participants should: • Be responsible and prompt • Be able to think critically • Be active and creative Tentative Programme Rundown Orientation Day Date: 17th October 2010 Time: 13:00– 18:00 Venue: Wa Ying College Cultural Exchange Day Date: 24th October 2010 Time: 12:30– 18:30 Venue: Wah Yan College, Hong Kong International Day Date: 13th November 2010 Time: 09:30– 17:00 Venue: St. Joseph's College Booth Day Date: 20th November 2010 Time: 10:30– 16:30 Venue: Kwun Tong Maryknoll College Cultural Experience Sessions 18th October 2010 – 5th November 2010 During the Cultural Experience Session, each group will be given an invaluable chance to experience the cultural practices of its country. A member of the 24th Executive Committee and at least one member of the Organising Committee will accompany each group at all times. Moreover, Guest Advisors / Exchange Students will advise each group and provide explanations of the cultural implications during visitsIn these three weeks, each group will participate in or visit two activities/sites of interest to experience the country’s culture. These activities include visits to mosques and temples, local dance and music sessions or cooking cuisine native to the country. In addition, each group will visit the consulates of their respective countries and interview either the Consul or Consul-General. It is hoped that through the process, participants can gain deeper insights into the culture and background of the country. Cultural Project Week 6th November 2010 – 19th November 2010 During this week, participants will prepare for a performance and a forum for the International Day and a booth which will be set up on Booth Day. The performance provides a chance for the participants to share with others what they have experienced during the “Cultural Experience Session”. The forum allows the participants to truly experience looking at another country from a different perspective. Instead of learning about the culture as a foreigner, they will act as the citizens of their assigned country. For the booths, participants are encouraged to design interactive activities for their booths so that they can learn from one another the cultures of different countries. This year, the booths will be open to some primary school students, in the hope that the participants can pass on what they have learnt to these primary students who may not have the chance to visit so many foreign countries. #2 Community Outreach 2011 Introduction Bearing the theme ‘One to World and World to One’ for this session, our association hopes to motivate and educate students to actively serve the community and raise their social awareness. Through serving the needy, compassion and a sense of responsibility for the society can be cultivated to achieve personal growth in the participants. We also aim at instilling in the teenage participants a sense of concern for current social problems. We would like to emphasise the continuity of passion in service in our participants. Most of the service projects in the community offer one-time service sessions and lack continuity. In view of this, we would like to build up the idea of continual service – that their passion should not extinguish after the service programme and should in some ways teach their fellow peers/citizens what they have learnt through the service sessions. In order to achieve this goal, follow-up service sessions will be arranged for the participants after this project and further liaison between the participants and service centres will be highly recommended. Apart from continuity, our hope this year is to cultivate a sense of social awareness in our participants through INGO visits and experience sharing by international volunteers and the ex-clients (people who have gone through what the clients are currently experiencing). Visits will be organised to non-government organisations serving our clients during the project, in the hopes of helping our participants understand the difficulties these clients are facing, and eventually realise the social problems present in our community.Lastly, it is our sincerest hope that through the Community Outreach 2011, participants will not only recognise their social obligation, but also realise their own strengths and weaknesses in the course of interacting with like-minded peers, and hopefully lend a hand in helping the society build a brighter future. Theme The theme of this year’s project is ‘ Society at a Glimpse ’. Through the Community Outreach 2011, we hope that our participants can serve the clients, experience the lives of them and empathise with them in just a few weeks’ time. Moreover, we would like to raise the participants’ awareness of current social problems regarding the needy so that they can be equipped with a macroscopic perspective. The principle of continuity will be put into practice. Target Group 80 students from Form 3 to Form 5, from secondary schools in Hong Kong Participants should: • Be a Form 3, 4 or 5 secondary school students in Hong Kong; • Have a high degree of social awareness; • Demonstrate initiative in taking up social responsibilities; • Have a passion for serving the community; and • Be enthusiastic, responsible and prompt. Tentative Programme Schedule Orientation Day Date: 29th January 2011 Time: 13:00– 18:00 Venue: Kwun Tong Maryknoll College Experience Day Date: 13th February, 2011 Time: 13:00– 17:30 Venue: Chan Sui Ki (La Salle) College (4 Sheung Wo Street, Homantin, Kowloon) Introductory Sessions of Services Mid February, 2011 Introductory service sessions will be arranged for the participants. The aim of these sessions is to teach them the basic skills and techniques for getting along with certain groups of clients and to let the participants understand their roles and duties in the upcoming service sessions. Volunteer Day Date: 19th February, 2011 Time: 13:00– 18:00 Venue: Queen's College One-day Experience Trip 20th February, 2011 A one-day experience trip will be organised for the participants to have in-depth understanding of the real situations of some poorest districts in Hong Kong. Apart from taking part in community service, we also encourage the participants to further broaden their horizons and identify the social problems in our community. Service Project Late February - Mid March, 2011 While participants gain voluntary experiences through designing their service projects, we also hope to introduce them to local/international volunteer activities so as to assist them in gaining a better understanding in what non-government al voluntary organisations are doing to help the needy, and learn to appreciate their effort. A number of visits to non-governmental organisations that serve the same targets as in the service projects will be organised in between service dates. Participants will interview the person-in-charge of these organisations and learn from their volunteer experience. Proposed organisations include ORBIS, Amnesty International, and UNICEF. Organisation Visits Late February - Mid March, 2011 In the 4-week service project, the participants will be given a chance to put the skills and knowledge they have learnt throughout the scheme into practice. Instead of only being told what to do during a service session, participants will design their own service activity for the target groups. This will be carried out at various service centres of the supporting non-governmental organisations. In particular, the participants will learn the importance of taking an active role in serving others. Participants will also be encouraged to further develop their relationship with their clients. An evaluation session will be held after each service to ensure that participants will reflect on areas of improvement which will be useful in subsequent service sessions. Through the successive services, we look forward to seeing the growing passion of the participants and the building up of relationships between them and the clients, thus achieving the aim of continuity. Group Project: Video-taking Late February - Mid March, 2011 Participants are then asked to compile a five to ten-minute video to share what they have learnt in the scheme and raise the social awareness of the others. They should use the information gathered during previous seminars/organisation visits and combine it with their own experience. The final work will be screened and uploaded to YouTube and Facebook. Closing Ceremony Date: 13th March, 2011 Time: 13:00– 18:00 Venue: Wa Ying College Continuity 13th March, 2011 onwards In order to achieve this goal, follow-up service sessions will be arranged for the participants after this project and further liaison between the participants and service centres will be highly recommended. #3 Youth Summit 2011 Introduction The Hong Kong Youth Summit is an annual event organised by the Hong Kong Outstanding Students’ Association. As a platform for future leaders of Hong Kong to exchange views on current economic and social issues, the Summit aims to inspire participants to think critically and analytically on current social issues. During the past several decades, Hong Kong has undergone rapid development and its economic strength is getting momentum with each passing day. Nevertheless, though Hong Kong is one of Asia’s richest cities, it also has the region’s largest wealth disparity, with some 18 per cent of the population living below the poverty line. The huge disparity in wealth is a pressing problem to the society as it causes numerous social and economical problems. Such tension needs to be eased so that the community would benefit from economic development and share the fruits of prosperity. The emphasis of this year’s Youth Summit, therefore, will be on finding solutions to the problem of “wealth gap” in the Hong Kong society. Bearing the theme “Bridging the Gap”, participants will look into the problem of income disparity through three major areas: education, housing, and labour. Six Commissions will be formed from members of different Leadership Groups and will be in charge of putting forward resolutions to specific issues through a series of discussions and negotiations. Resolutions drafted by participants will be proposed at the Final Summit. Ratified resolutions will then be presented to at the public forum where social leaders and press will be invited to attend. The final resolutions will 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 order to reflect the views of Hong Kong youths. Objectives - To enhance participants’ awareness of social issues - To inspire participants to think critically and analytically in different perspectives - To encourage the exchange of ideas among participants and to provide a channel for them to express their ideas in public - To develop a sense of belonging to Hong Kong - To develop the creative potentials of participants through providing creative solutions to existing problems Recruitment of Participants 120 students from Form 4 to Form 6, from secondary schools in Hong Kong. Schools can nominate at most 10 students who demonstrate interests in current affairs to join the project. Students are also encouraged to apply directly to the programme. The participants should: - Display an interest in current affairs - Be able to think critically - Be outspoken - Have an active engagement in school activities - Be conversationally fluent in Cantonese and English Details of the Summit Leadership Groups - Low Income Group - Middle Income Group - Small and Medium Enterprises - Big Corporations - Professionals - New Immigrants - The Elderly - The Disabled - Ethnic Minorities/Foreign Domestic Workers - Government Commission Groups - Two Education Commissions - Two Housing Commissions - Two Labour Commissions Interviews and Excursions Participants will visit organisations or interview guests that are related to their Leadership Groups. Dates for these visits or interviews will be confirmed at a later date. Working Language All discussions will be conducted in either English or Cantonese, and all written documents will be in English. Resolutions All the resolutions passed will be followed up by our Association to ensure that the voice of the youths is heard and that responses may be given. As our past practice, the resolutions will be sent to the relevant government departments, the Legislative Council and the press.

We hope to infuse the idea of struggles between different elements of life, e.g. love, friendship, family, wealth, career, and integrity, in the investigation of mysterious cases. The term “Mystory” carries the meaning of both solving mystical cases and reflection on participants’ own life story. The Camp will simulate a detective training school, where participants are recruited as trainees and are taught special skills in deciphering clues and solving cases. Each individual case presented will be about a conflict between certain important values in life. Participants will be guided to imagine their reactions and choices under these situations. We hope that, through this experience, they can discover more about themselves and reflect on the genuine meaning of life. During the investigation process, the participants will have to perform creative and challenging tasks which require creative thinking, presentation, communication, etc.It is hoped that through this simulation, participants will be given ample opportunities to let their ideas and imagination soar and potentials to be unleashed. The Camp also aims at helping participants to overcome their self-limitations, develop their original thinking and problem-solving skills. Through enjoyable workshops and educational games, participants will be able to exchange their ideas with and learn from their peers. Objectives - To encourage students to think beyond their limits - To provide opportunities for students to make use of their creativity and imagination - To strengthen students’ self confidence and help them realise their potentials - To further develop students’ leadership and problem solving skills - To allow students reflect on their own values - To promote the mission and vision of HKOSA in schools of Hong Kong Recruitment of Participants 80 students from Form 3 to Form 5, from secondary schools in Hong Kong. Schools can nominate at most 8 students who demonstrate interests in current affairs to join the project. Students are also encouraged to apply directly to the programme with teacher's recommendation.

Published materials in 2006-2007 and activites organised by the 20th ExCo. < Back 2006-2007 20th ExCo Year Last Updated: 11 Sept 2024 Tags: International Convergence, Volunteer Training Scheme, Youth Summit, Interflow Camp #1 International Convergence 2006 Introduction The International Convergence 2006, the first external project hosted in the Association’s 20th anniversary, has proven to be a very auspicious beginning. Under the theme “Our Globe in Focus”, the International Convergence 2006 brought together 70 top students from 27 schools around Hong Kong, who engaged in a comprehensive and interesting study of 7 different countries, culminating in a spectacular final banquet. The project is a multicultural-experience scheme that aims to promote the understanding of cultural diversity and international cooperation through the learning and understanding of different countries’ unique cultures. The emphasis, however, of the project is “experience”, with the participants not only learning about the history, language and current affairs of their given countries, but also undergoing a unique series of cultural visits and experiences that broadened their understanding of their countries’ culture in a dynamic way. Throughout the scheme, the participants underwent unique cultural experiences, ranging from cooking sessions, to temple/church visits, to dance/music workshops, to interviews with the Consul Generals of the seven countries represented – Germany, India, Israel, Mexico, South Africa, Spain and Thailand. In addition, workshops were held to educate the participants on various topics such as globalisation and international cooperation. The scheme culminated with a closing banquet, in which the participants presented their cultural experiences and conversed with representatives from the various consulates of the countries in Hong Kong. Following the success of the inaugural International Convergence last year, the 20th Executive Committee further enlarged the scale of the project, increasing the duration to three and a half weeks, the number of participants, the scope of the visits and even the addition of a Movie Appreciation Week, where participants were treated to one of their countries’ famous movies and given an appreciation from a Guest Advisor to the project. In addition, with the projects’ emphasis on cultural exchange, the participants were exposed to many nationals from their given countries, including students from the Li Po Chun United World College of HK, Guest Advisors from cultural associations in Hong Kong, dance instructors, consulate representatives and even the Consul Generals of each of the countries! It is hoped that through this project, participants gained a deeper understanding of the importance of cultural diversity and global cooperation.

These activities included visits to mosques and temples, local dance sessions and cooking of traditional cuisines. Each group also visited the consulates of its assigned country and interviewed either the Consul or Consul-General. Participants were able to gather first-hand information and acquire insight on the culture and background of their countries. Movie Appreciation Week (13th November 2006 - 18th November 2006) Participants were provided the chance to watch a movie featuring their particular country’s history and culture with a national of their respective countries. Participants learnt to appreciate the beauty of the art and culture of different countries through a leisurely activity. Since most movies were never shown in Hong Kong, the sessions also exposed participants to a different level of aesthetic understanding. Cultural Project Week (13th November 2006 - 18th November 2006) During this week, participants prepared presentations to promote their country’s culture, art and history. These preparations allowed participants to reflect on what they have experienced throughout the project, thus, reinforcing the knowledge they have gained. The presentations took place during the Closing Banquet in front of representatives from consulates and cultural societies.

The project also provided a valuable opportunity for students to interact with equally able and like-minded students. The Scheme took place from the 18th February 2006 to the 8th April 2006. Theme The theme of this year’s project, “To Feel and Heal” contained two key aspects. To “feel” meant to foster empathy for those less fortunate ones showing compassion and respect. Clients with sensory defects, including the blind, the deaf, the disabled and the mentally handicapped, were specifically chosen as the chief focus of this project mainly due to the fact that the difficulties these clients encounter in life are not fully understood by many. The second aspect of the project, to “heal”, referred to participants being encouraged to take action in helping these people. Outline of the ProjectAmong other things, the scheme offered such novel programs as training workshops, which were held to equip participants with the practical skills and knowledge specifically required to deal with these clients. A Service Experience Week was also included for students who did not have such a broad experience in community service. It is our sincerest hope that through the project, participants did not only learn to help others but also realise their own potentials and access their own strengths and weaknesses through interaction with like-minded students.

In April, over a hundred young leaders, nominated by their respective schools, gathered to discuss past success and failures, to discuss future policies and developments, and have successfully showed all guests present that this is a generation of innovative and politically conscious minds. Students were split into the two separate councils – Economic Affairs and Social Affairs – and given the opportunity to review key policies and developments that have taken place in their assigned commissions over the last decade, following which they debated future reforms and how Hong Kong may better use the intricate and continually developing relationship with China to raise herself towards greater heights. The final summit, attended by The Hon. Rita FAN HSU Lai-tai took place on the 21st April, with participants debating resolutions that they had produced followed by a Dinner Banquet at Joseph’s on the Graduate at HKU. The overall theme of the Summit was “Beyond the Decade”, commemorating the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong’s Handover back to China. Amongst the discussion and debate, various commission seminars by renowned government officials as well as Legislative Councillors were held to further enrich the knowledge of students on various topics of their discussion. Another highlight was the fictional crisis that was introduced towards the end of the Summit and around which the students had to write another resolution to solve. The Hong Kong Youth Summit 2007 proved to be a valuable opportunity for leaders of the future to step up, to converse with bright minds, to learn from mentors. It is our sincerest wish that through the programme, participants were able to channel inspiration into aspiration, and embrace and solve problems facing society.

Published materials in 2021-2022 and activites organised by the 35th ExCo. < Back 2021-2022 35th ExCo Year Last Updated: 11 Sept 2024 Tags: Social Service Series, Youth Summit, Coffee Chat, Study Abroad Series #1 Voyage Beyond: Social Service Series The " Voyage Beyond " Social Service Series, organised jointly by the Hong Kong Outstanding Students’ Association and Aberdeen Kai-fong Welfare Association, was successfully held from November to December 2021. Targeting young children from low-income families, the activities aimed to pique their interest in English through interactive methods and increase their confidence in speaking English in the long run. Volunteers' Training Workshops A series of activities were designed by volunteers from different secondary schools and the our ExCo members over the period. Training workshops were held November by our ExCo members to brief volunteers on the programme and equip them with the necessary event management and communication skills. Service Sessions 1 & 2: Storytelling The service sessions kickstarted in December. A dozen of young participants listened to tales from around the world in engaging storytelling sessions and played group games that consolidated their newly acquired knowledge. Tales told in the sessions include " Momotaro" from Japan and "The Empty Pot" from ancient China. The activities exposed our participants to different cultures and taught them to embrace the diversity across borders. Service Session 3: Fun Day Towards the end of the programme, participants had a fun time making kibi dango , a snack which appeared in the Japanese story. The social service series concluded with a taste-testing session of the snacks prepared and a group photo session. A Very Merry Christmas Overall, responses from both the volunteers and children are positive as evidenced by their active participation in the programme and post-event evaluation. Designed to be different from the usual classroom setting, the highly interactive Voyage Beyond social service series made English more approachable for young learners, and gave them a taste of travelling abroad at the time when outbound travel became difficult. As our vision goes, we will continue to make unremitting efforts to “synergise and serve” different disadvantaged groups. #2 Uni Hub (Postponed due to the Pandemic) Every year, plenty of our members embark on their journeys at university, where they might encounter different adversities and uncertainties. UniHub was aimed at providing a platform for senior OSArs to give guidance and support to freshmen OSArs of the same university, accompanying them during ups and downs in the new environment. Unfortunately, due to the 5th wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was postponed. #3 Hong Kong Youth Summit 2022 The Hong Kong Youth Summit 2022: “ Anti-Apocalypse ” was successfully held from April 12 - 14. In the three-day virtual event, our guest speakers: Mr. Jason Yip, Prof. Jonathan Choi, and Ms. Benita Chick gave inspiring and informative keynote speeches as participants drew inspiration from their talks and explored pressing global issues threatening humanity. The speeches were interspersed with group activities , such as a friendly debate, a trivia, and a session for participants to design their future planet. On the last day of the event, participants gave creative presentations followed by a Q&A session on a wide range of topics that were chosen based on their interests, including the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, the impact of artificial intelligence on social media, and plastic pollution. Each group also proposed solutions to tackle the challenges, responding to the theme “ Anti-Apocalypse ” of the event. While humanity faces many challenges in these uncertain times, the Hong Kong Youth Summit 2022 is a reminder that the world is not beyond saving and highlights the importance of engaging the youth in addressing global problems .
