The RHFF Innovation Award was given to Group 5 for hosting an engaging ecotour at Hong Kong Park and an interactive terrarium workshop. Group 5 has demonstrated exceptionally innovation through project idea formulation and implementation.
Group 5, as a part of the Hong Kong Joint School Environment and Conservation Society formed by three groups of YEAs, led participants through the urban oasis of Hong Kong Park. The ecotour provided an insightful exploration of the park’s diverse plants and birds, offering participants a glimpse into the rich biodiversity that thrives in an urban setting. Then, participants were being invited to the terrarium workshop, where they created their own terrariums while learning about plants and biodiversity. The participants were not only impressed with the diverse biodiversity the park offers, but also with the YEAs’ knowledge on local wildlife. This event had given the students a precious opportunity to sharpen their public speaking and leadership skills, which will benefit them when they pursue on their higher education and careers.
As we look ahead, we are excited to see how these young leaders will continue to shine.
