Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office stages roving exhibition at universities to showcase Greater Bay Area opportunities
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office under the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau will start staging a Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) roving exhibition from tomorrow (January 11) until the end of March on the campuses of eight universities and at the Civic Education Resource Centre of Youth Square. The aim of the exhibition is to introduce to university students and young people the significant opportunities that GBA development presents for the youth of Hong Kong.
A spokesman for the Office said that the Chief Executive emphasised in the 2024 Policy Address the need to promote youth development continuously so that young people can capitalise on their strengths and contribute to the high-quality development of Hong Kong and the country. The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has continued to introduce a number of policy measures in various areas to support Hong Kong young people to grasp the opportunities arising from GBA development, thereby creating greater room for their development.
This year's roving exhibition will commence on January 11, with the first stop at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The exhibition offers rich information including the introduction of policy measures in different areas of the GBA, tailor-made support programmes and facilitation arrangements for Hong Kong young people, various support services as well as different channels for obtaining the latest practical information about the GBA, to enable visitors to learn more about the development of the GBA and better seize its unlimited opportunities.
The roving exhibition has received venue support from the eight universities and the Civic Education Resource Centre of Youth Square. Details about the exhibition are as follows:
