Sponsored by Swire Trust Tomorrow, under the “Oceans Tomorrow” project, co-organised by AYP and National Geographic Creative Works, “Postcards from Planet Possible: The Workshop” was successfully held. The aim was to let all participants have a better understanding of the Hong Kong marine ecosystem, and learn to cherish marine life and spread the messages of protecting our ocean. From September to December 2022, participants experienced an array of ocean purification and conservation activities, including field trips to restore the oyster reefs in Pak Lai, understanding the mangroves and recording the sound from the nature, creating rap music about marine conservation in a professional studio, drawing their insights towards ocean tomorrow in Apple Store with iPad, and attending the Towards A Sea Change: Mission Possible – a theatrical musical celebration performance.

AYP BOC Life Rogaine Charity Race 2022, our annual signature fundraising event, was successfully held at AYP Jockey Club Duke of Edinburgh Training Camp on 13 November 2022. We aimed to encourage young people to rediscover the beauty of nature and enhance their interest in outdoor activities by exploring in the woods. This year, the event was an accredited event celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, with a record high participation of young people.
