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 .

Published materials in 2016-2017 and activites organised by the 30th ExCo. < Back 2016-2017 30th ExCo Year Last Updated: 11 Sept 2024 Tags: Project Vista, Youth Summit #1 Project Vista 2017 Introduction Project Vista 2017 will be held in July. This programme is aimed at helping participants gain insight in the social issues related to our theme this year. The focus will be on the direct experience of these issues through a close encounter with the relevant stakeholders and a deep and critical reflection on these issues through various challenging tasks and group work after the experiencing sessions. Theme of PV 17 Our theme this year is “Rediscover the Fading Colours”. Due to the economic structure, the education system and the influence of the media and other stakeholders in society, the definition of being successful, being outstanding and contributing to Hong Kong has become increasingly narrow, perhaps limited to a few career choices. It is against this context that we chose the theme “Rediscover the Fading Colours”. We hope our participants could learn more about industries that were more prominent in the past but face a declining awareness and interest from Hong Kong youths and have a rethink of the role these industries could play in advancing the city’s future. Programme highlights Immersive workshops The four highlight industries for our theme this year are minibus signs(小巴水牌), movable-type printing(活字印刷), traditional costumes(傳統服裝) and vintage snacks(懷舊小食). We are cooperating with selected practitioners of these industries to offer tailor-made immersive workshops to participants. Participants will be engaged in one of these industries in which they could observe the daily working procedures, try out certain working procedures and converse and interact with the practitioners to gain an immersive understanding of the industry. Labour simulation Apart from the four highlight industries, many industries or careers in Hong Kong are also facing a decline in awareness and interest. We are offering a simulation for participants in which they have to cooperate with one another to complete certain physical tasks. Specific rules and details of the simulation will be announced during the experiencing camp. Documentary production and sharing Participants will form groups based on which highlight industry they were engaged in to produce a 12-minute documentary about the industry and their experience in the programme. To allow participants from different groups to exchange insight about their respective industries, all documentaries will be played in a cinema during the closing ceremony in which special guests would be invited to attend. Special awards would be given to commend documentaries with quality and made with effort. We are cooperating with qualified individuals or organisations to provide guidance to participants in producing the documentaries. Our vision Through the aforementioned activities, we hope participants could rediscover the gradually neglected parts of Hong Kong society which made it so unique in the first place, and form their own informed opinions on the vista, or outlook of Hong Kong in the future. Programme specifics Orientation Day: 2nd July, 2017 Experiencing Camp: 6th July, 2017 to 9th July, 2017 Closing Ceremony cum Documentary Sharing: 28th July, 2017 Details of the programme rundown will be released soon.

Theme of YS 17 “Diversity, Harmony, Understand the Variety” In recent years, conflicts among various social groups have intensified greatly. To give participants a chance to understand more about the diversity among them and to have a clearer picture of the variety of our Hong Kong society, we have chosen “Diversity, Harmony, Understand the Variety” as the theme of YS 17. Ultimately, we hope participants will understand that despite living in diversity, we can still live together in harmony through understanding and acceptance and come up with a resolution for different topics to create a more inclusive Hong Kong. The technicalities In YS 17, all participants will be divided into groups, each assigned to a commission group (eg. Education, Social Welfare etc.) and a stakeholder group (e.g. Minority, the Poor etc.). Throughout the whole Summit, participants will take on roles of the assigned groups and debate on social issues related to our theme. Participants must defend their stakeholders’ interests during the debate and the Commission meetings. Eventually, they will be required to come up with a resolution of each social issue discussed during meetings and forums, and analyse the stance of each stakeholder groups towards the issue. The resolutions and analyses will be compiled into a magazine which will be published to the sponsors, guest speakers, participated schools as well as the relevant government departments. Commission Meetings will be supplemented by a series of Interviews and Excursions as well as seminars and talks given by our guests-of-honour. Participants will come into close contact with actual members of their stakeholders’ group and the leading experts in the relevant social issues. Workshops in Commission Meeting rules and public speaking will also be arranged. These experiences, in addition to the Information Pack prepared by the Organising Committee, will allow delegates to engage in productive discussions competently. To better facilitate discussions and debates, we will invite experts from various sectors of the society and government officials as our guest speakers to provide us with more information on the specific issues. Participants will also have a chance to debate with our guest speakers during the City Forum or seminar sections. Our vision By the end of YS 17, we hope that our participants will have developed a strong sense of social awareness and had some insights towards the variety and diversity of different stakeholder groups in Hong Kong. We hope essential skills such as critical thinking, delivering public speech and also expressing personal opinion through writing can be developed or strengthened during the event. We aim at using YS17 as a platform to encourage our participants to paint a clearer picture of Hong Kong and hence contribute in the future by becoming responsible leaders of the society.
