******************************************************************************************

To commemorate the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of the People's Republic of China and further promote patriotic education, the Information Services Department (ISD) has designed and produced a series of tote bags showcasing the Giant Panda Family. One of the designs will be gifted to local primary school students by the Working Group on Patriotic Education (WGPE) to share the joy of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, while promoting patriotic education and cultivating affection for the country and Hong Kong among younger generation. The tote bags, together with badges with messages of loving our country, Hong Kong and our community, are distributed to local primary school students starting from today (June 26).

The Convenor of the WGPE, Dr Starry Lee, said, "The Central Government gifted a pair of giant pandas to the HKSAR, demonstrating the country's care for Hong Kong and fostering exchanges in areas such as culture and conservation. In celebration of the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR and the upcoming first birthday of the giant panda twin cubs, Jia Jia and De De, tote bags and badges are distributed to local primary school students to share the joy, promote patriotism, and strengthen students' sense of belonging to our nation."

The Giant Panda Family tote bags feature Hong Kong's traditional signage with six adorable and lively giant pandas. Paired with badges displaying messages of promoting love for our country, Hong Kong and our community, patriotic education can be better integrated across campuses and into students' daily studies and lives in an interesting and diversified manner.
