The Youth Programme is an annual highlight of the Sir Edward Youde Scholars Association (SEYSA), providing the youth with an exclusive learning and development opportunity. A number of activities are customized for a specific theme such as ‘tailor- make your life’, ‘leaving your comfort zone’, ‘sustainability’ and ‘political civility’.

The first activity - Difference Maker Workshop#1 has been held on 28 November at Ricci Hall of The University of Hong Kong. Some of our S1, S3, S4 and S5 students have been invited to join the workshop. Difference Maker Workshop aimed at training youngsters as leaders.

In the workshop, students were taught essential leadership qualities, requisite mindset and communication skills. They were involved in a game about Lego figures. Some members were responsible for describing the size and the shapes of the figures. Some were responsible for piling up the lego according to the description provided by their members. All members in the group did not know each other. The success and effectiveness of the game greatly depends on their communication skills. Moreover, they had to do a presentation after the game with the other groups.

Finally, students are expected to use different skills they have learnt from the Youth Programme to launch a difference maker project in groups.
