Mainland youth exchange programme for Leadership Institute on Narcotics concludes (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Leadership Institute on Narcotics (L.I.O.N.), established by the Narcotics Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force, organised a two-day visit to Shenzhen on July 18 and 19, with the participation of nearly 110 mentees and mentors. The youth exchange programme, titled “Together, We Fight Against Drugs”, aimed to provide participants with insights into the Mainland’s drug prevention culture and publicity initiatives, equipping them to disseminate anti-drug messages more effectively in schools and the community in the future.
          
     Led by the Chief Superintendent of Police Narcotics Bureau, Mr Ng Kwok-cheung, the Principal President of L.I.O.N., Mr Kerry Wong, and the President, Mr Godfrey Ngai, the delegation visited the Shenzhen Junior Police Camp under the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau. They engaged with the Mainland youth “Anti-drug Pioneers”, discussing future collaborative efforts between the two places, and topics such as “space oil drug”.
          
     The mentees also toured biotechnology and low-altitude economy industry facilities in Shenzhen, where they participated in genetics experiments and gained knowledge about how drone systems integrate with smart city development. These activities deepened their understanding of the country’s innovation and technology development, as well as the application of these technologies in combating drug abuse.
      
     The “Together, We Fight Against Drugs” Shenzhen-Hong Kong exchange programme has been organised by L.I.O.N. for three consecutive years, in partnership with the Narcotics Control Department of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Hong Kong Shenzhen Youth Association, demonstrating both sides’ commitment to promoting youth drug prevention initiatives.
      
     Established in 2021, L.I.O.N. recruits 100 secondary school students and undergraduates annually. Through drug knowledge workshops, leadership training camps, visits, as well as Mainland and overseas exchange programmes, it nurtures young leaders who promote drug awareness and prevention in the community and schools.
