HKFYG on the
Web
Everybody uses the Internet these days. It was invented nearly
30 years ago as a university bulletin board but now it's crucial
to most of us whether we use it for advertising, counselling
or shopping. The Federation's u21 website is a good example.
At www.u21.org.hk there
is a virtual portal to a wide range of on-the-ground Federation
services. It makes them accessible 24/24, 7/7, something that
would once have been impossible.
|
u21 was launched in January 2002
and has evolved rapidly. Now it's more than double its original
size but has also expanded in concept. It offers plenty of information
but is selective and importantly it also offers guidance. Some
of our counselling services give interactive advice via the web
pages. Content is broad but embraces topics specifically targeted
at young people. It includes education, careers and leisure activities,
not only in Hong Kong and on the mainland but also in the world
at large.
We are also very proud to say that u21 has just received the
2004 Web Care Award at Primary Level for its achievements in
providing a barrier-free Internet environment. Through the lively
communication of ideas and distinctive graphic design, u21 strives
to provide access to the most up to date and useful sources of
information for youth in Hong Kong.
The website provides a focus for collaborative work with partners
too. It serves sponsors by giving them access to youth via the
media they use most actively. It offers the chance to disseminate
information while opening access to potential new markets for
products and services. Sponsors can also give prizes for the
winners of online competitions and activities. Your partnership
and support is vital in providing resources to enrich the website
and increase its readership. For further details, please do not
hesitate to contact the Partnership and Resource Development
Office at 2123 9598.
