The “Virtual Peace Camp” facilitated participants to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds to foster international understanding, goodwill and peace.

Rotary Club of New Territories is committed to promoting youth development; On top of fostering mutual respect and appreciation, it proactively builds inclusive communities. During the Easter holidays, Rotary Club of New Territories generously sponsored 18 students from South Tuen Mun Government Secondary School to participate in the online “Virtual Peace Camp” co-organized by Rotary International District 3450 and Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong from 3 April to 4 April 2021, allowing them to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds through group games and discussions, to foster international understanding, goodwill and peace, and understand the circumstances and feelings of others through discussions on the sharing by minority groups. Participants learnt the importance of listening wholeheartedly, being considerate and showing respect for diversity, and thus will put what they learnt into practice and strive to live peacefully with others. They also expressed that the event created an enriched learning environment and precious opportunities for them to communicate in English, thereby making friends around the world. To conclude, the event has great significance. All participants expressed their gratitude to Rotary Club of New Territories for its support, and looked forward to another chance to join a similar event to widen their international horizons.
