Introduction

Hong Kong Union for Young Leaders (HKUYL) is a non-profit
making, student-based organization, registered under the Societies
Ordinance (REF.CP/LIC/SO/19/1088). Established in October 1992,
the Union has been inspiring teenagers and nurturing the leadership
potential within each of them for more than two whole decades,
helping them to find their own definition of leadership. It has been
the Unions goal to seek out and acknowledge secondary school
students with outstanding leadership skills. It is also the Unions mission
to increase their local awareness, as well as to promote a sense of
global citizenship and commitment to the community they reside
in. Each year, two F.4 students from each member school (hereafter
addressed as Campers) are selected as representatives of their
respective schools within the Union. Campers will undergo various
seminars, leadership training camps and workshops, where they will
have the chance to interact with recognized leaders in society.

The first activity of the year is the Global Awareness Project
(GAP). Throughout a series of workshops, the Project aims at raising
the awareness of Campers on various local and global issues through
researching examples and situations of different countries. Campers,
representing groups of elites and ambassadors from Hong Kong, will
be tasked with identifying and analysing imminent global problems,
of which they will have to come up with solutions with reference to
the work done by their assigned countries. The climax of the Global
Awareness Project is the World Congress, in which Campers will
have to present their solutions to their peers in a formal manner and
undergo negotiations and debates with other groups. The Global
Awareness Project aims at helping Campers realize their identity
as global citizens, such that they can mature into responsible and
visionary leaders who not only show knowledge of the world they
reside in, but are also able to apply what they have learnt from
around the world to evaluate and solve local issues, and ultimately, to
display compassion and commitment towards the world community.

At the rear of the Global Awareness Project is the Youth
Leadership Seminar (YLS), another highlight of the Union since
its establishment. The Youth Leadership Seminar is an extensive
programme consisting of interactive workshops, lectures and
discussions given by inspiring leaders from different walks of life, and a
leadership training camp towards the end of the Seminar. Throughout
the Seminar, Campers are guided to improve on different aspects
of leadership, such as effective communication and collaborative
work. A four-day-three-night camp will mark the apex of the Unions
activities as Campers will undergo simulations, group games and
reflections, learning and understanding the qualities of a good leader.
The Youth Leadership seminar is not merely a place for nurturing future
leaders; rather, it is a platform for budding leaders from outstanding
schools to exchange ideas and form lifelong friendships.

Community Ties (CT), as titled, stresses on communitymindedness. The programme includes volunteer work and service
done for the underprivileged and less fortunate minorities in Hong
Kong. This programme aims to raise Campers awareness and
empathy for those who are less privileged than they are, and to
provide with them a chance to actualize their leadership skills. The
Community Ties also serves as an effective way to show Campers
the less-bourgeoisie community that Hong Kong shelters behind its
metropolitan facade, such that they will reflect on their positions and
responsibilities in the community.

As was the case in previous years, around ten outstanding
campers who have demonstrated remarkable leadership will be
nominated to participate in the Hugh OBrian Youth World Leadership
Congress (HOBY WLC) in Chicago during the summer, four of
whom will receive full sponsorship from the government. The World
Leadership Congress is an international platform where leaders
from all around the globe converge and construct friendships, while
undergoing cultural exchange in which Campers are offered a
global perspective towards various matters and different aspects of
leadership.

Introduction

During the summer holiday, Campers will have to actualize
their leadership skills after GAP, YLS and CT through the Camper-cumCommittee Project (CCC). After a year of nurturing and inspiration,
Campers come together to organise and discuss a brand-new project
of their own, with the Committee Board acting merely as guidance
behind the scenes. Campers shall also demonstrate the maximum
capacity they have, and pass on the UYL magic that has been
kindled in each and every UYLers mind to the non-UYLers. As the final
mission of Campers, they can run for posts on the Election Day for the
very first time and work in different departments along the way. CCC
is the perfect once-in-a-lifetime chance for Campers to exercise and
explore true leadership, as well as to demonstrate teamwork and faith
in their fellow Campers, as they strive together as one to come up with
an unforgettable activity both for themselves and for the participants.
This, as the final touch of the year, will prove to be a lifelong memory
for all campers.

The 23rd HKUYL marks the start of a new era, a legacy of the
two decades of effort in inspiring and motivating leaders of tomorrow.
It is the joint effort of the perseverance of our predecessors who have
earned the Union a sound reputation amongst the local community,
and it is this joint endeavor we share as the 23rd Committee Board that
allows us to stride over the miles, and to continue inspiring tomorrows
leaders today.

Theme

Throughout the 22 years, with the incessant devotion of UYLers, our Union has
fostered countless passionate young leaders who are striving hard for a refinement in
various aspects. The Union has long been emboldening Campers to aspire their associate,
to seep the UYL magic into their own communities and to explore the boundless unknown.

Action speaks louder than words. In the 23rd year, we hope to inspire our Campers
to make an impact in our society with the theme Stride over the Miles. As the leaders
of tomorrow, it is vital for us to pave our ways with enthusiasm, determination and
perseverance. We cannot keep compiling our dreams with words, but with actions in the
communities.

With the zeal for a refinement in our society, we should foster an acumen mind
and carefully tile our action plan. In their year in the Union, Campers will be encouraged
to discover their own path and be equipped with leadership skills that would aid them on
their way. More importantly, they will have to step away from their comfort zone and take
the first step of their journey.

While opening up these unascertained courses, Campers will encounter
unpredictable trials. To conquer these trials, a complete disregard for where their abilities
end is the key to success. Breakthroughs are made by courageous predecessors to put
their ingenious ideas into practice. Achieve the unachievable is doubtless the machete
for us to discover the concealed.


To set off this life-and-world-changing trail, Campers will have to pave their
avenues towards their goals with creativity and persistence. This road is not only for
ourselves, but a pathway for others to follow, an exemplification for people to imitate, a
platform for inspiring more innovations to enrich our society. By constructing more and
more trails, it will then become a network that stimulate advancements and be further
transformed into a chain reactionIndividuals influenced by individuals.

Mile is not only a unit of measurement of how long our ways are, but a record
of our endeavor and endurance. Evaluating the past while foreseeing the future is an
imperative quality a leader should posses. We cannot keep reminiscing the compliments
and achievement we had in the past, but driving ourselves to review the paths we have
been through. Last year, UYLers have explored the uncharted destinations. Now, it is time
for us to take that very first stride towards them, to realize our missions, and to actualize our
dreams.

Global Awareness Project

The aim of Project is to instill in Campers a global perspective, a sense of belonging to

the global community as well as to equip them with the necessary skills to investigate,
analyse, and find solutions to the current issues of our society.
Campers, who are divided into different groups, will initially take up the role of
different stakeholders in Hong Kong. They are responsible for identifying and
familiarizing themselves with the underlying problems of Hong Kong. Afterwards,
countries that share similar problems will be assigned to different groups. Campers
will take up the role as Hong Kong ambassadors, and they are responsible for
investigating and coming up with a solution towards the assigned issue.
Through various workshops, seminars and lectures, Campers will be exposed to
different approaches as to how they can solve their designated issues, and underlying
problems stemming from the given issue, meanwhile shaping their research and
presentation skills.
The highlight of the Project is the World Congress, a 2-day formal conference, in which
each group will have to present their proposals of solution to their respective issues.
Negotiations and debates among different groups will take place and the proposals
will be either accepted or rejected through voting towards the end of the Congress.
Campers will be able to develop a sense of global awareness, as well as to apply it
on a local level.
GAP will be a valuable opportunity for Campers to hone their public speaking skills
as well as their analytical skills. Campers are highly encouraged to think in multiperspectives and they are also required to come up with a full-fledged proposal
within a short period of time. In the process, their problem-solving skills will be greatly
improved.
