Project Introduction
This year's "Hong Kong 200" Leadership Project ("the Project") aims to cultivate capable and discerning young leaders who are passionate and proactive in offering sound solutions for society from within and beyond the system across sectors. The project provides participants with the training, resources, and platform they need to take the first step in exploring the possibilities of public and political engagement.
Participants will expand their horizons through Social Experiences and Dialogues with Leaders, keeping abreast of the latest societal developments. At the same time, they will master transferable skills through Skill Labs and Project-based Learning, preparing themselves for future development.
Project Framework
Participants will start with Hong Kong's public policies as the focus of project-based learning, supplemented by national and international perspectives, devising solutions and presenting them to the public.
This year's Project focuses on "Northern Metropolis" centering on "society" and approaching from Livelihood (Social & Political Sector) and Industry (Social & Business Sector) Aspect. This allows participants to understand the roles and relationships of 'society, politics, and commerce' settings in real world and to recognise how to collaborate across these sectors to create a positive impact.
