Through a series of training sessions, visits, and activities centered on the theme of sustainable development, the program broadens the horizons of participating young leaders, inspires their creativity, organizational skills, and leadership abilities, and empowers them to become promoters of sustainable development in schools and communities under the guidance of professional mentors.
Student leaders from both schools created a small exhibition in the community to introduce the public to the impact and causes of global marine debris. The student leaders also personally demonstrated how to use recycled waste to create different childhood games and practical wallets, encouraging the public to use their creativity to upgrade and reuse waste. This attracted many families to participate. Together with the online and offline "Ideal Campus" voting activities, about 18,000 people participated on the day.
Buddhist Sin Tak College: Because it is located next to a subway station, the school's usable area is smaller than that of other schools, resulting in limited space for rest and activities. Students wanted a public space that could attract students to gather and engage in various activities. The architect used small wood particles as the base structure, allowing students to build small stages for recitation practice or freely combine them into chairs and tables of different sizes, making more efficient use of the school space.
CNEC Christian College: Due to its remote location, the nearby housing estates lack sufficient restaurants to meet the students' lunch needs. Most students, for convenience and to save time, order takeout, resulting in a large amount of disposable tableware after lunchtime. Although some restaurants have switched to more biodegradable lunchboxes and tableware, a small number of cheaper restaurants still use polystyrene containers. The students conceived a project titled "Raising Awareness of Disposable Culture on Campus," collaborating with an architect to create an "Ice House," which they then exhibited in the community.
Learn about the last remaining natural woodworking workshop in Hong Kong, located in the northeastern New Territories. With a 70-year history, it is one of the few remaining industrial facilities in Hong Kong. In addition to touring the workshop and learning about the history of Hong Kong's trees and the workshop itself, student leaders also made a small wooden chair from recycled wood, helping sustain tree life.
Student leaders also participated in the leftover fruit jam and mosquito coil classes organized by the Women's Center. These classes sparked students' interest in jam-making, and the instructors also explained to them the challenges faced by local women in the workplace and at home; how community economics can enhance women's status and confidence; and how to promote an autonomous and friendly community.
