HONG KONG, May 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The "ECA Expo 2025", organized by Exhibition Group, opens today until May 5 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Upholding the philosophy of "Holistic Education, Invitational Education," the organizers have invited numerous established educational institutions and teaching material suppliers to participate. All courses and educational materials featured at the expo have undergone rigorous screening to ensure reliable quality. Parents and students can personally experience various features of the course and educational materials to select the most suitable learning solutions. The Expo aims to creating a comprehensive exchange platform for educational resource providers and consumers that delivers greater benefits to all.
The opening ceremony was attended by Prof. Herman Hu, GBS, JP, HKSAR deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC) and Honorary Vice-President of the Hong Kong Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, Mr. Eddie Ng, former Secretary for Education of the HKSAR, Mr. Wong Po Kee, Honorary Deputy Secretary General of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, Mr. Carl Wong, Chairman of Exhibition Group, Mr. Rex Li, Chairman of Hong Kong Pet Trade Association Limited, Mr. Eric Cheung, Co-Organizer and CEO of Ericnoah Workshop, Ms. Tracy So, Strategic Partner and Executive Associate General Manager of Advertising and Business Development at Sing Tao News Corporation Limited, Mr. Terence Au, Business-School Partnership Programme Partner and Marketing Director of Ming Pao Newspaper Limited, Dr. Purple Lee, Extracurricular Activities Promotion Ambassador and Founder of Purple Music world.
Mr. Carl Wong, Chairman of Exhibition Group, stated: "Extracurricular activities are vital for promoting students' holistic development, especially against the backdrop of growing concerns about youth mental health in today's society. Through physical and arts education and diverse extracurricular activities, we can not only improve students' physical fitness but also cultivate creative thinking and relieve academic pressure, helping build positive and healthy attitudes toward life. The government recently launched '4Rs Mental Health Charter' also emphasizes the importance of 'Relaxation,' encouraging students to exercise more to develop regular physical activity habits. This year's ECA Expo is dedicated to providing diverse and comprehensive extracurricular activity options for students aged 3 to 11, cultivating their curiosity, creativity, and logical thinking through various educational programs and experiential activities." He further noted that extracurricular activities not only provide experiential opportunities for students but also help schools effectively utilize resources such as the "Student Activities Support Grant" and "Life-wide Learning Grant," enabling students from different socioeconomic backgrounds to participate in diverse life-wide learning activities.
The "ECA Expo 2025" breaks conventional boundaries by leading various types of education centers and material providers beyond their traditional promotional channels to directly showcase their strengths and characteristics.
