Learning for fun: summer activities at the Federation
Quality time for young people on holiday - that is the aim
of the Summer Programme. There are 2,700 different activities
which encompass leadership training, sports and health, volunteer
work, creativity and digital technology. We have added 200
new courses since last year with the emphasis on positive and
constructive activities for educational and leisure purposes.
|
|
For
lucky parents who can have quality time with their children in
the summer we have tailor made items
which we hope will help build up the special parent-child relationship.
These include cooking, bird-watching and sailing; hip-hop, digital
photography and art therapy. Whatever is the flavour of the month
at home or at school, we aim to provide supportive back-up, from
the time school breaks up till term starts again.
"The Home
Affairs Bureau has lent its support to summer youth programmes
like this since 1969. They give Hong Kong's youth a chance to
make best use of their free time during the summer vacation so
as to cultivate knowledgeable and creative young people with
good interpersonal skills who grow up to be responsible, civic-minded
members of the community."
Ms Shelley Lee, JP, Permanent
Secretary for Home Affairs
