Events Report

CLP E-Playground, co-organised by AYP and CLP Power Hong Kong Limited, hold “CLP Power Ambassador Programme”, “CLP Smart Evening Camp”, and “Power Journey” for the fifth consecutive year. In total, over 3,255 and 1,979 participants joined the evening camp and Power Journey respectively. 246 young people had become CLP Power Ambassador, promoting environmental awareness through volunteering and STEM education.

In the third year of “Jockey Club Diversity Mentoring Youth Project”, AYP aims to enhance participants’ life skills and self-confidence through diverse talents sharing positive values and life attitudes. As this three-year programme is coming to an end, we are busy preparing for the closing ceremony. We hope to gather mentors and youth together one last time at the ceremony to reflect on the time spent together and share their experiences and gains.

Funded by HKEX Foundation, and allocated and monitored by the Community Chest, AYP organised the “Sports ZERO” project aiming to promote environmental sustainability. The project approached more than 2,500 individuals in the past three years. AYP held “ZERO Hero” Journey, Creation ZERO Workshop, and ZERO Games to collect disposable plastic bottles, then used them to create equipment for newly emerged sports, or donate to the community. We aim to promote waste-to-energy, and let young people and the public to learn more about green lifestyle by integrating sustainability concepts into sports activities.

Funded by the Jockey Club Charities Trust, we stepped into the third year of the Jockey Club “Camily” Project. Through participating in “Skills”, “Physical Recreation” and “Adventurous Journey” related activities, parents and children can develop a close rapport, and parents are able to understand the capability of their children. Besides of the newly emerged sports and rope climbing events, we also have various types of handicraft activities, such as making keychains and scented soap balls.

Funded by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and the Youth Development Commission, AYP has launched the “More Than Adventure” programme since July 2023. As of 31 March 2024, we have successfully conducted a total of 42 training groups, providing valuable learning opportunities for 1,641 youths. The programme aims to align with the “Youth Development Blueprint” by offering training programmes ranging from day camp to 4-day-3-night camps. Through a series of experiential adventure training activities, progressive guidance, and intervention from coaches, we helped young people to build up positive self-development, enhance resilience, foster group consciousness and discipline, broaden their horizons, and boost creativity. In the coming year, we will continue our efforts to provide systematic, high-quality, and large-scale adventure training activities for youth.

The Uniformed Groups Chill Fun Day was successfully held on 24 March 2024. We were honoured to have Mr. Eric Chan Sui Wai, JP, Commissioner for Youth, Award Council Members and guests to attend the closing ceremony and spend a relaxing afternoon with our young people. Students’ mental health issues have been conspicuous in recent years. To share a good work vision with our partners, we organised this event for young people from 13 uniformed groups. With a series of adventure challenges and STEAM activities, young people are able to build a strong relationship with new friends and relax beneath the natural surroundings.
