Sunday, August 25, 2024 The Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) recently concluded its third edition of the flagship youth-learning initiative, the “Bi-city Youth Cultural Leadership Programme.” The program, which spanned two months, culminated with a final stop at the Palace Museum in Beijing, wrapping up an enriching cultural exchange that traversed Hong Kong, Chengdu, and Beijing. Participants from both Beijing and Hong Kong engaged in thought-provoking discussions on promoting Chinese culture and the growth of creative industries.
These discussions featured esteemed figures, including Dr. Wang Xudong, Director of the Palace Museum; Lou Wei, Executive Deputy Director of the Palace Museum; Dr. Louis Ng, Museum Director of the HKPM; Vinci Chan, Assistant Director of The Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) in Beijing; and Han Zhi, Director of Retail at Swire Properties.
Supported by Swire Properties as the Lead Sponsor, the Programme also received backing from the Palace Museum and The Office of the Government of the HKSAR of the People’s Republic of China in Beijing. Ednovators, a Hong Kong-based charity, partnered to design the initiative, reflecting a commitment to fostering cultural awareness and leadership among young people. The program’s activities in Beijing included a full-day visit to the Palace Museum, where participants explored the soon-to-be-unveiled Digital Gallery of the Great Hall of Exalted Mystery.
