Get Set to Serve in a Better Future

"I never thought of having the ability to prepare a funding proposal and prototype that could win a seed fund," said Ceci, a form 6 student leader at T.W.G.Hs Li Ka Shing College, a participant of “Hong Kong 200” Leadership Project 2020 (“The Project”). Ceci and her team created a special crutch to reduce the risk of injury of seniors with limited mobility. The idea has won the Championship with a HK$10,000 seed fund to implement it. Each year, the Project selects 200 outstanding senior secondary school students with leadership potential, outstanding academic performance and commitment to serve the community. Since 2006, the Project has nurtured over 2,600 high-calibre young leaders who have demonstrated their competence and compassion to care others in Hong Kong and different regions of the world, while developing their careers.

Ceci saw community-visit photos of her fellow schoolmates who were alumni of the Project, thus inspiring her to join the Project. "Originally, I mistook it as a volunteer programme only," said Ceci. After 60 hours of intensive training on future skills, Ceci recognised the power of this Project. "Volunteer work only benefits a small number of people. But through this Project, we could design and execute our ideas that can help more people sustainably." The Project’s curriculum is based on society-oriented design thinking. Various activities are arranged so that participants would go through the design thinking process step-by-step. In the beginning, participants are taught essential skills such as pitching and proposal writing. Then, three themes are introduced to experience empathetic leadership through “Positive Education”, “Up-cycling”, and “Well-being of Elders”. At last, they need to put their thoughts into action by creating a prototype of their social solutions of Project for Hong Kong, thus demonstrating the spirit of “My Commitment to Hong Kong”.

As the Chairperson of the School’s Sports Council, Ceci had joined many leadership training programmes before but she believed that this Project is more special. "The programmes I joined before were mainly theory-based lacking practice. In HK200, I could implement social innovation projects by applying my learning. This has encouraged us to solve problems more comprehensively.”
Despite the pandemic, participants were surprised by the enjoyable and fruitful training sessions through online and offline dual-track learning. The Project also values the establishment of a talent bank of young leaders. It connects our young participants with alumni through mentorship programmes. In the training process, alumni gave Ceci and the participants unlimited support, inspired innovation and shared future career tips. "Their success has given me the motivation to move on." She continued, "I will definitely continue to serve and inspire more to shine!"

實踐所學 回饋社會

「我從沒想過自己有能力可以撰寫提案及製作原型,甚至成功取得種子基金。」就讀東華三院李嘉誠中學中六的鄧慧(Ceci)興奮說道。Ceci是《香港200》領袖計劃2020 (簡稱《計劃》)的學員。她與組員一同設計的「新耆夾爪士的」旨在透過結合多項功能的手杖,讓行動不便的長者減少受傷機會。其提案奪得「Project for Hong Kong」創投提案決賽金獎及觀眾最喜愛大獎,並獲得一萬元種子基金實踐點子以鼓勵團隊繼續推行項目。《計劃》每年嚴格選拔本地200位別具領導潛質、學業優異,並抱有服務社會心志之高中學生。自2006年至今《計劃》培育了超過2,600名高質素的青年領袖人才,他們在發展個人事業的同時,亦關心香港、國家以至國際事務。

Ceci從社交平台上看到同校師兄分享參與往年社區考察時的照片,激發她參加《計劃》的興趣,「獲校長推薦時,我本以為這是個義工活動,參加後卻發現是個『不一樣的領袖培訓計劃』。」經過60小時培訓後,Ceci對《計劃》完全改觀:「義工活動只讓一少部分人受益,但《香港200》的提案能成功實踐,將讓更多人受惠,發揮可持續的影響力。」《計劃》以社會為本的「設計思維」(Design Thinking)為主軸,安排學員以多元方式學習未來技能。《計劃》初期培訓學員掌握計劃撰寫及匯報技巧等實用技能;於第二階段,學員需就「正向教育」、「環境保育」及「樂齡安老」三方面了解對象需要,建立同理心(Empathetic Leadership);學員通過自行設計Project for Hong Kong,提出具創意及可行的改善方案,實踐「願意為香港」精神

作為校內體育委員會主席,Ceci曾參與不同的領袖培訓,但她認為《計劃》比其他培訓更特別:「之前參加的領袖訓練以理論為主,並沒有實踐的部分,現在能夠將學到的知識實行社創項目,讓我能更全面地解決問題。」疫情期間,《計劃》的培訓模式亦創新求變,以線上線下雙軌進行,Ceci亦表示沒想到線上學習也可以如此豐富又有趣。同時,《計劃》一直致力為香港打造青年領袖人才庫,透過師友計劃為學員與歷屆師兄師姐建立緊密聯繫。培訓過程中,歷屆的師兄師姐給予學員無限的支持,啟發創新構思及將來職場經驗,「他們的成功為我帶來動力,推動我繼續前行,」她續說:「我也必定會繼續將經驗傳授及發揚光大!」

Leaders Connecting Leaders 

Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, “Leaders to Leaders” continues connecting global young leaders with Hong Kong young leaders and brings inspiration with co-creation. This year, "Leaders to Leaders 2021: Ding Ding Dialogue - Travelling Towards A Sustainable Community” brought participants six fruitful and rewarding rides on the world's largest double-deck tram fleet with distinguished guest speakers.

Participants were honoured and excited to have a close conversation with the guests. Angel Chan, a S.6 student and Chairman of Student Union at Shatin Pui Ying College, who wants to become a doctor in the future, joined two rides in social innovation and movies with her friend. She was motivated by the sharing of Dr Jennifer Tong, the 2020 winner of the Hong Kong Red Cross Humanity Award, about the importance of human connection. “Doctors do not care only medical knowledge but also relationship building with people,” she remembered Dr Tong’s sharing thus fuelling her aspirations to be a doctor. Angel, interested in old and new buildings, was also inspired by Mr Gary Wong, author of Film Pilgrimage. "Movies are often a reflection of our society and the value of that time in history. This special tram tour has enabled me to rediscover the relationship between films and the community and reimagine the future of Hong Kong, " she added.

The Programme comprises six rides with four themes ranging from Architecture and History, Film, Social Innovation and Urban Wellness on the historic form of public transport that has witnessed the city's transformation for more than a century. It encourages and empowers future young global leaders with a better understanding of history and culture, igniting them to take actual actions and fostering a dynamic conversation with each other to co-create positive social impact locally and globally.

“The future belongs to youth. Therefore, young people need to know the world more in order to make changes.”

-  Angel Chan, S.6 student and Chairman of Student Union at Shatin Pui Ying College

參與活動的中學及大專生對於能夠與嘉賓近距離對談感到榮幸和興奮。其中,就讀沙田培英中學中六並且是學生會會長的陳佩瑩 (Angel)未來想修讀醫科,故參加了由香港紅十字會人道年獎2020得主唐頴思醫生分享的環節。唐醫生參與無國界醫生的經歷,讓她明白「人與人之間的關係是最珍貴,而作為醫生,更需要與人建立良好的關係。」本身對新舊建築有興趣的Angel亦受《電影朝聖》作者王冠豪啟發,「電影最能反映當時的社會情況及價值,這次隨著電車路認識港島區的古往今來,讓我重新發掘電影同社區關係,增加對香港未來的想象。」

是次活動緊扣四大主題,包括: 建築及歷史、電影、社會創新和城市健康,利用別具代表性並見證城市百年變遷的電車舉辦六場特色旅程,創造與別不同的交流平台。藉著欣賞電車沿途的人和事,未來年輕環球領袖藉此認識及反思香港歷史及文化,激發參加者共同創建更美好社會的行動力。

「未來是屬於青年的,因此青年需要多認識世界,才能作出改變。」
