Annual General Meeting cum

Global Awareness Project (GAP)

Orientation Day

The Annual General Meeting cum Global Awareness Project Orientation Day

was successfully held on 22nd

November, 2014 in Queens College. The Meeting

gather alumni and campers and to witness the commencement of the 23rd

Hong

Kong Union for Young Leaders. Our Honorary Advisors, The Hon. Mr. Alan Leong and

Mrs. Rachel Cartland also joined us and gave us a few words of encouragement.

They are both note-worthy leaders of the society and their addresses on leadershipdid give us a great inspiration and motivation which enlightened the Meeting.

The Meeting was followed by the Global Awareness Project (GAP) Orientation

Day. 54 Campers changed into their Outstanding T-shirts for the rst time and marked

the start of their year-long journey. They were first introduced to the Outstanding

Cheer with the hope and expectation that Campers will be able to outshine and

be outstanding in the upcoming year. After several rounds of ice-breaking games,

Campers found their companions in the Global Awareness Project (GAP) and set off

to the city-tracing right after lunch.

The city-tracing was the highlight of the day in which each group needed

to identify checkpoints in different parts of Hong Kong by sorting out clues and to

complete checkpoint tasks. They demonstrated their creativity by designing their

group names and slogans on their ways. through their enthusiastic involvement and

teamwork during the event, Campers started to get acquaintance with each other

which paved their paths for further cooperation in the following journey.

The Orientation Day ended by distributing the rst task to Campers - to nd out

three existing local problems from the point of view of one of the six identities, namely

journalists, businessmen, grassroots, environmentalists, ethnic minorities, and students.

The task acted as a brief introduction and prepared them for the related global topics

in the World Congress.

GAP Workshop I

The first GAP Workshop was held in TWGHs Wong Fut Nam College on 30th

November, 2014. In the morning session, Campers played a city-snatching game.

They were required to snatch as many cities as possible by completing various

tasks. When their city was invaded by another group, they needed to go back anddefend the city. For each city, they only got two chances to ght for the sovereignty.

Therefore, Campers were required to make wise decisions based on the situation to

maximise their benets.

In the afternoon session, Campers presented their findings on existing local

problems from different perspectives. They were able to step into the shoes of

different stakeholders and analyzed the problems from their points of view. This

allowed them to understand the current problems in Hong Kong as well as the lives

of different people in society. After the presentation, each group faced a question-

and-answer session. They were challenged with enquiries from different aspects.

Campers needed to answer the enquiries spontaneously with their information in

hands and their own knowledge. Through the research and presentation, Campers

were equipped with basic knowledge on the current affairs in the local community

and were encouraged to learn more on their own.

GAP Workshop II

The second workshop took place in Belilios Public School on 13th

December,

2014. Campers rst entered The Hunger Banquet. They were divided into Upper Class,

Middle Class and Lower Class. The Lower Class was demanded to complete tasks

with higher physical involvement while Upper Class was required to perform tasks

in light nature. Through the appointment from the Committee Members or a voting

process among the class, individual Camper could be promoted or downgraded to

another class. At noon, Campers had their lunch in corresponding to their classes.

The Hunger Banquet acknowledged Campers on the problem of wealth disparity and

encouraged them to reect on the situation and to look for ways to solve or lessen the

problem.

After the Hunger Banquet, Campers showcased their talents in the cultural

convergence promoting the culture of their assigned countries. Local culture such asthe traditional dance and language were exhibited which gave both the performing

Campers and the audience a chance to understand the six countries in a cultural

level. A public speaking workshop was then conducted. Different aspects of a speech

and a debate were introduced to them and every Campers got a chance to have a

trial. The public speaking and communication skills they learnt could then be applied

World Congress

The World Congress this year which was as well the pinnacle of the Global

Awareness Project was held on 29

th

to 30

th

December, 2014 at Youth Square. Withtheir suits and ties, Campers took part in the Congress as the ambassadors from their

assigned countries.

The Congress aimed at enhancing Campers awareness on global affairs and

local problems, as well as developing their analytical and presentation skills. This year,

we stressed on six issues in different countries, namely Censorship on Media in Mexico,

Market Monopolization in India, Urban Planning and Sannong Problems in China,

Dehabitation of Endangered Animals and Climate Change in Brazil, Discrimination

in the USA, Low Competitiveness of Youth and the Hikikomori Problem in Japan.

Campers were divided into six groups, each representing one of the countries and

addressing on the corresponding issue. Dr. Eric Tsang, the Chairman of Green Power,

also accompanied us during the event. He shared with us the importance of Global

Awareness for leaders in the 21st century which was surely a valuable input for all of

us.

During the Congress, Campers, as the ambassadors of their assigned countries,

presented their investigation and proposed solutions corresponding to their ndings.They then faced questions and challenges from the Council Members as well as the

ambassadors from other countries. In rounds of presentation, they gained knowledge

from others presentation as well as from their own experience. While challenging the

proposal from other groups, they sought their own rooms of improvement at the same

time. At the end of the Congress Day 1, Peccata, an Hong Kong-based underground

organisation hijacked the Congress and demanded Campers to draft an action plan

tting in the current situation in Hong Kong.

In the Congress Day 2, Campers presented the action plan upon the request

from Peccataand their amended proposals which met the requirement from non-

profit organisation to gain support for their proposals. They successfully helped

resuming the Congress and then continued to gain support for their proposal from a

number of celebrities.

Upon the support from various non-profit organisation, celebrities and

ambassadors from the other countries, the proposals of China, Brazil, the USA and

Japan were passed and drew to the end of the World Congress 2014.
