Second Digital Education Week concludes (with photos)
*****************************************************
     The second Digital Education Week (DEW), held for seven consecutive days, has concluded today (June 27). The two highlight events of DEW, namely the International Summit on the Use of AI in Language Learning and Teaching 2026 and the Learning & Teaching Expo 2026 (LTE 2026), were held under the themes "AI in Language Education: From Ideas to Implementation to Impact" and "Reimagining Education: Human-Centric, Future-Ready" respectively, demonstrating Hong Kong's pivotal direction in holistically advancing the integration of humanities education with innovative technology to actively meet the needs of national and societal talent nurturing in the age of AI.

     The first highlight event, the Summit, was co-organised by the Education Bureau (EDB), the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The event was held from June 21 to 24, attracting over 5 000 attendances. The Summit sought to provide a practical platform for teachers, researchers, and other members of the education sector to learn from one another, and share insights regarding the use of AI in language education. During the first two days of the Summit, a total of six keynote speeches were delivered by leading scholars from around the world, alongside an invited expert panel discussion, and 93 paper presentations and teaching demonstrations, fostering professional exchanges. Scholars and experts from different regions shared their perspectives, integrating theoretical research into teaching practice, and explored in depth how AI can be effectively applied in diverse language education contexts.

     In the following two days of the Summit, a total of 22 workshops were held, receiving an enthusiastic response. Participants engaged in hands-on experiences with various AI-powered teaching tools and explored different strategies and possibilities for integrating AI into language education to further promote the incorporation of innovative technologies into classroom practice. 

     Another highlight event of DEW, the LTE 2026, was fully supported by the EDB, presented by the Hong Kong Education City and organised by the Smart City Consortium. The event, held from June 25 to 27, attracted a total attendance of over 23 000. The EDB especially arranged three keynote sessions on the newly released Blueprint for Digital Education Development in Primary and Secondary Schools. The sessions highlighted the guiding direction and implementation strategies for promoting digital transformation of education in primary and secondary schools, which aims to enhance students' digital literacy and equip the younger generation to meet the opportunities and transitions of the digital era.

     The LTE 2026 featured more than 600 local and overseas booths, and over 270 programme sessions with the introduction of new sessions such as the "Parents' Summit". Speakers from around the world also attended the event to share future classroom solutions to further advance Hong Kong's development in the field of digital education. 

     This year's DEW brought together experts, scholars, policy researchers, and representatives from education and technology sectors from Hong Kong, the Mainland and around the world, along with teachers, students and parents, to explore new trends in educational technology development, particularly focusing on how AI can drive innovation in learning and teaching, and build a future-ready digital education ecosystem collaboratively.
