IDYO & HKCC International Youth Day 2024
Date: 5 August 2024
International Diverse Youth Organization, Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and its Youth Development Committee co-organised the International Youth Day 2024 celebration themed "Innovative Collaboration of Diverse Youth" on 5 August 2024.
International Youth Day is a holiday initiated by the United Nations. Since the UN passed Resolution 54/120 in 1999, 12 August has been designated as International Youth Day, with the first celebration held on 12 August 2000.
During the event, Dr Danny LEUNG, Lecturer of the Department of Journalism and Communication at Hong Kong Shue Yan University, shared two videos about youth's emotional issues. Then, we invited attendants to join the “Openness Finds Ways” bingo game and the interactive African drum and guitar performance.
We express our special thanks to the Africa Centre Hong Kong for the venue, Dr Danny LEUNG, Y’s Men International fellows from Kenya and the Hong Kong district, Mr Chun-tak KWOK for his wonderful guitar performance, and Dare and Ruth for their Nigerian refreshments.
