The large-scale Rule of Law Drama Day organised by the Department of Justice (DoJ) returns with great acclaim, presenting the drama "Rule of Law Academy - Adventure to the Stars" today and tomorrow (May 16 and 17) at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The drama promotes rule of law education to senior primary students and parents in an interesting and interactive manner. The two performances are expected to attract an audience of more than 2 000 people.
      
     The Secretary for Justice, Mr Paul Lam, SC, and the Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, return to the stage, playing the roles of the Principal and Vice-principal of the Rule of Law Academy respectively. In addition to engaging warmly with the audience, they deliver singing and dancing performances. They lead both the students in the play and the audience on a journey in deepening their understanding of the rule of law and practising the spirit of respect, integrity, justice and law-abidingness in order to earn the honour of "Rule of Law Star", conveying the important message of upholding the rule of law.
      
     Through an exciting adventure story, the play integrates the concept of the rule of law into the plot in a lively and interactive way. By participating in the interactive session, members of the audience assist the protagonists in the drama to overcome challenges and to attain the distinction of the "Rule of Law Star", thereby experiencing how to implement the values of fairness and equality, honesty and integrity, solidarity and mutual support, as well as a law-abiding spirit, in their daily life.
      
     The DoJ launched the "Rule of Law through Drama" project in 2021. Through lively, interesting and interactive drama performances, students can learn the proper concept of the rule of law, enhancing their law-abiding awareness and cultivating the spirit of the rule of law. The project has presented over 350 drama performances to primary schools in various districts across the territory since its launch.
      
     To further extend the rule of law education from school to family and the wider community, the DoJ held the inaugural Rule of Law Drama Day in May last year, which was well received. Building on its success, the Rule of Law Drama Day returns to stage this year with enhanced content and new songs, continuing to promote the rule of law education in an interesting and interactive way.
