With support from the Youth Development Commission and the Government of the HKSAR, this exchange programme enabled 30 secondary school students from 26 Hong Kong schools to travel to Tokyo, Japan, with the aim of enhancing their mental well-being.

Prior to departure, participants engaged in preparatory activities including an adventure day camp and a personality assessment, designed to encourage self-discovery, strengthen interpersonal communication, and build confidence. Throughout the exchange, daily reflection exercises promoted self-awareness and self-appreciation.

Programme highlights featured:

• A courtesy visit to the Chinese Embassy and meeting with Ambassador Wu

• Experiencing school life in Japan at Daito Bunka University First High School

• Learning about the international humanitarian efforts of Save the Children Japan

• Presenting a self-directed performance at the 2024 Children’s Rights Forum

Stay tuned and continue supporting our Exchange Programme as we create more transformative opportunities for young people in the future.
