The focus of this year’s project is “Cultural Sparks”. Hong Kong is a multi-cultured cosmopolitan city. With various cultures, conflicts sometimes happen due to misunderstandings. However, we believe that a mixture of diverse cultures can create positive sparks and allow different cultures to appreciate each others’ uniqueness. Through looking at a country from a native’s perspective, participants’ understanding of a culture will be deeply fostered. The scheme will last for approximately four weeks, during which the participants will learn about the culture, history, language and current affairs related to an assigned country. They will partake in activities as well as experience the cultural practices of their respective countries to cultivate their interest and to deepen their knowledge. The project will conclude with a day in which participants set up booths to display what they have learnt about culture and their respective countries in the programme. Apart from that, the participants will experience the rituals and daily lives of different cultures in which the participants will demonstrate and exchange their knowledge of their assigned countries with guests who have assisted in the organisation of the project.

Bearing the theme “ Beyond Boundaries, Project Prosperity – the Six Industries ”, investigating the six industries as proposed in the Policy Address 2009-2010. As Hong Kong faces an increasing competition with neighbouring regions such as Shanghai, Singapore and Taipei, alternatives have to be arrived at in the development of Hong Kong, propelling her towards a knowledge-based economy and increasing her competitiveness. The emphasis of this year’s Youth Summit will be on the possibilities and potentials of these six industries as an alternative to the traditional industries in the development of Hong Kong, as well as the prospects in specific fields, such as education services, innovation and technology and cultural and creative industries. Objectives - To enhance participants’ awareness of social issues - To inspire participants to think critically and analytically - To encourage the exchange of ideas among participants - 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 solutions to existing problems Target Group 120 Secondary 4 and Secondary 6 students in Hong Kong The participants should: - Display an interest in current affairs - Be able to think critically - Be outspoken - Have an active engagement in school activities and volunteering services - Be conversationally fluent in Cantonese and English Details of the Summit Leadership Groups • Low-income Group • Middle-income Group • Small and Medium Enterprises in Hong Kong • Big Companies • Professional • Environmental Activists • Foreign Companies in Hong Kong • Government 1 (Land Use) • Government 2 (Education, Health & Home Affairs) • Youth Commission Groups • Education Services • Medical Services • Testing and Certification Services • Environmental Services • Innovation and Technology • Cultural and Creative Industries Interviews and Excursions Participants will visit or interview organisations or guests that are related to their Leadership Groups.

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. Programme Rundown Orientation Day Date: 30th January 2010 (Saturday) Time: 13:30 - 18:00 Day 1 Date: 31st January 2010 (Sunday) Time: 09:30 - 18:00 Day 2 Date: 6th February 2010 (Saturday) Time: 09:30 - 18:00 Venue: The University of Hong Kong Day 3 Date: 20th February 2010 (Saturday) Time: 09:30 - 18:00 Hong Kong Youth Summit Date: 28th February 2010 (Sunday) Time: 09:30 - 21:00 Venue: The University of Hong Kong Interviews and Excursions Dates: 1st February 2010 - 19th February 2010 #3 Volunteer Training Scheme 2010 Introduction Bearing the theme ‘ EXPLORE: EXPerience the earth, LOve the living, REach to reality ’ for this session, our association hope that our activities could inspire teenagers of Hong Kong to devote themselves to serving the community and raising their awareness about global issues. We also hope that students would discover their dreams and aspirations through our projects throughout the year. Through workshops and service programmes, participants will be provided the opportunity to ‘Experience the earth” by learning about the needy in Hong Kong and serving the community. We hope to instil in our participants “Love for the Living” by assisting them in designing their own service programmes to serve two target groups, elderly and ethnic minority children. Geared with experience, skills and a passion to serve, it is hoped that participants will be able to “Reach to reality” and continue to contribute to social services in the future. Similar to other projects organised by our Association, this scheme will offer educational programmes such as training workshops and seminars to well-equip the participants with practical skills and specific knowledge in dealing with different clients. In addition to these sessions, a four-week Service Project will be held. Participants will focus on two different targets, namely the elderly and ethnic minority children. Half of the participants will be encouraged to interact with young clients of ethnic minority groups. Meanwhile, the other half of the participants will be focusing on serving the elderly. In order to achieve a long-term dedication in our participants, we would like to emphasise the continuity of passion in service in our participants. Most of the service projects 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.In order to achieve this goal, participants will engage in bi-monthly visits after the scheme. Apart from continuity, our hope this year is to cultivate a sense of global citizenship in our participants through INGO visits and experience sharing by international volunteers. Visits will be organised to international organisations serving ethnic minority children and the elderly during the project. Participants can interview volunteers who have engaged in services overseas and learn from their dedication and experience. Lastly, it is our sincerest hope that through the Volunteer Training Scheme 2010, participants will not only recognise their obligation, but also realise their own strengths and weaknesses in the course of interacting with like-minded peers. The theme of this year’s project is ‘ Helping Hearts, Linking Lands ’. Through the Volunteer Training Scheme 2010, we hope that our participants can traverse both land and culture with their passion to serve. Apart from gaining local experience of service, we would like to give participants a global perspective so that they may apply the experience gained to doing international voluntary work. The principle of continuity will be put into practice. Programme Rundown Orientation Day Date: 13th March 2010 (Saturday) Time: 14.00 – 18.00 Service Project (Stage 1) Date: 14th March 2010 (Sunday) - 26th March 2010 (Friday) Volunteer Day Date: 20th March 2010 (Saturday) Time: 12.00 - 16.15 Adventure Day Date: 21st March 2010 (Saturday) Time: 08.00 - 18.00 Pledge Day Date: 27th March 2010 (Saturday) Time: 14.00 - 17.00 Service Project (Stage 2 to Stage 4) Date: 2nd April 2010 (Friday) - 24th May April (Saturday) Organisation Visits Date: 8th April 2010 (Thursday) - 21st April 2010 (Wednesday) Evaluation Meetings Date: 25th April 2010 (Sunday) - 7th May 2010 (Friday) Closing Ceremony Date: 8th May 2010 (Saturday) Time: 13.30 - 18.00 Continuity Around 1 session will be arranged monthly or bi-monthly to maintain the continuity of the projects. Details will be given after the Scheme is completed. Target Group Participants should: - be Form 2 or Form 3 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. #4 Interflow Camp 2010 Entitled “ Ecovation ”, Interflow Camp 2010 will focus on the theme of sustainable green lifestyle. The term “Ecovation” is the amalgamation of sustainability and a concern for ecological processes. Its inspiration often follows a desire to live a lower impact lifestyle and a higher environmental conscience. The camp will simulate a United Nations Climate Change Conference (Copenhagen 2009), where scientists and climatologists from 8 different countries (here represented by the participants) meet to discuss the roadmap for a sustainable lifestyle, as well as brainstorm new ideas of how the idea of ‘green’ can be incorporated into the lives of people. The ‘conference’ will be chaired by politicians, hereby represented by members of the Executive Committee and the Organising committee, each of whom pursuit different agendas. Amongst them will be some who wishes to promote profit over environment and are hindering the world’s well-being. During the meeting process, the participants, playing the role of youth scientists, will have to perform creative and challenging tasks which require creative thinking, team cooperation, presentation, communication, and other inter-personal skills. One of the key highlights of the camp would be a "Cap and Trade" game, where the widely proposed model of carbon trading is played out with different countries having different levels of production, resources, and thus a difference in carbon production. The theme game aims to inform participants the core of the principles of our climate change development on a global perspective. 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. Target Group 80 Secondary 3 to Secondary 5 students from local secondary schools and international schools Participants should: • Be Secondary 3 to Secondary 5 • Be responsible and prompt • Be able to think critically • Be active and creative Tentative Programme Rundown Orientation Day Date: 10th July 2010 (Saturday) Time: 13:00 - 17:30 Venue: Kwun Tong Maryknoll College (100 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon) Interflow Camp Date: 27th July - 29th July 2010 (Tuesday - Thursday) Venue: Po Leung Kuk Pak Tam Chung Holiday Camp Visitations to Organisations Date: Between 10th July 2010 and 27th July 2010 Venue: EcoHome and EcoPark Previous Year Next Year

By combining the creativity and wisdom of Hongkongers, your designs may become a part of our Lunar New Year Stall, to be seen, shared, and sold to the general public. This is a testing ground for your abilities; a display case for your capabilities. If you have an idea waiting to be actualised, however brief it may be, feel free to submit your design via the link below. Please note that it is optional for you to leave contact information. HKOSA shall retain the final rights to the application of your submitted designs. Introduction As an active advocate of young people's expression of original ideas, this year, we are organising the Business Flyer, which aims at unleashing potential of young minds by educating entrepreneurship. In a successful business model, expertise at different aspects, such as writing, communication, designing, etc, is required. Youngsters will be encouraged to send us their ideas and experts in this area will choose the winning groups. The winning groups’ plans will then be implemented in the Lunar New Year Stall. Through the process of designing products and marketing strategies, young people can uncover and utilise their talents to contribute to the society in the future. Another objective of the programme is to showcase the talents of Hong Kong people. Hong Kong students have always been encouraged to ‘think out of the box’. However, very often, students lack a platform to implement their ideas. The programme is a platform which gathers the creativity of all Hong Kong people. As long as they have an idea, we will help them implement it. At the same time, any profits will be donated to an NGO of the team’s preference. This allows participants to contribute to the society while doing business. This can also promote the concept of social enterprise and responsible business. There will be open recruitment for talents and helpers to gather ideas from students all over Hong Kong. Every student in Hong Kong can grasp the opportunity and put what they learn into practice. This not only involves business, but also creativity, management and applied technology, etc. Programme highlights The Business Flyer comprises of a series of training activities on the Orientation Day for helpers as well as the Lunar New Year Stall. Orientation Series Students will be divided into groups by the Committee or arranged into their own preferred groups. There will be ice-breaking sessions to foster team spirit on the group. Group members can understand each other better so as to have an initial idea on what roles they would play in a business team. Furthermore, after a talk, participants will be able to get a taste of marketing in the business world through a MTR pitch (a variant of Elevator Pitch). Participants would possess a thorough picture of how to promote products effectively. Lunar New Year Stall Chosen proposals will be implemented. The products will be sold at the Lunar New Year Stall. The Executive Committee shall discuss with helpers to design concrete marketing strategies, prices, logistics, design, etc. It aims at creating a platform for participants to actualise their proposals through implementing the proposal of the winning team of the Business Flyer. From the programme, there will be a wide spectrum of marketing ideas and some products that they are keen to launch to the general public. By considering their valuable ideas, we will hold a stall in the Lunar New Year Market for selling their suggested products, hence bring up their brilliant business concepts into real market. The stall will be maintained by the Executive Committee members under the assistance of helpers. This is the most prominent reason why this stall are unique and different from those hold by other organizations.

Media appearances Recap of our programme: Oriental Daily: https://goo.gl/Nbm5ts Epoch Times: https://goo.gl/3xAdEV Money Smart: https://goo.gl/mGzQhD #3 Youth Summit 2018 Witnessing the success of our ancestors across the past three decades, the 31st Executive Committee aspires to perpetuate the distinctiveness of the association and break new ground in the upcoming year. Our flagship external project, Youth Summit, has been held continuously for years and aroused strong repercussions among students. The Project has been renowned for its representation in debating on controversial current affairs. It is one of the largest platforms for secondary students that sheds lights on understanding and accepting the pluralism of the Hong Kong society. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.’ Some say education is a one-size-fits-all model, a gigantic machinery where every one of us are scored, assessed, our achievements kept tally of. This summer, we are ready to dive deep and get to the bottom of doubts: Is the current education system undermining creativity? Is STEAM going to take us to the next level? Do Special and Gifted Education really cater to corresponding students? Are students put under too much academic pressure? Come on an EdVenture and find out! Knowing that various conflicts concerning the Education System of Hong Kong have been stirred up in the society, this year we proudly present Youth Summit 2018-EdVenture for all secondary and Year 1 university students to further conduct their discussions and propose resolutions for the betterment of the education system of Hong Kong. Areas of Focus - STEAM Education - Special Education (of students with ADHD, dyslexia, mental retardation, and/or autism) - Gifted Education - Academic Pressure (of both students and teachers) Programme Objectives - Provide an opportunity for participants to gain insights into educational issues - Prompt evaluation on the pros and cons of the Hong Kong education system - Guide participants to propose a solution for the educational issues discussed - Return back to society with active actions contributing to tackling the issues Timeline 30 June : Orientation Day @ The University of Hong Kong 1-6 July : Excursion Period @ schools and institutes all over Hong Kong (exact dates and venues to be confirmed) 7, 9, 14 July : Youth Forum @ The University of Hong Kong 17 July : Final Campaign @ The University of Hong Kong Other Learning Experience Hours Local students joining Edventure18 will be granted certified OLE hours if they attend all our orientation events and actively participate during events.

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.
