RTHK holds Solar Project 2026 Closing Ceremony (with photos)
************************************************************
     Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) held the Solar Project 2026 Closing Ceremony today (August 13). The Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Ms Angela Lee, officiated as guest of honour, joining the Director of Broadcasting, Ms Angelina Kwan, to witness 106 students from 77 secondary schools present the learning outcomes they achieved through the programme.
 
     In her address, Ms Lee said, "Amid a shifting global economic landscape and rapid technological advancement, Hong Kong will seize the opportunities presented by the National 15th Five-Year Plan, channelling our unique strengths into the broader national development agenda and innovation ecosystem. From the digital economy and innovation and technology to cultural and creative industries and professional services, tremendous opportunities lie ahead. These are opportunities that call for a passionate, creative, and committed new generation, just like our Solar Ambassadors, to step up and seize them."
 
     The Solar Project 2026 was themed "Cultural and Tourism Junior Reporters". Participating secondary school students took on the role of Solar Ambassadors and engaged in a series of study visits and training activities. These included a study trip to Qianhai, Shenzhen, in late June, accompanied by workshops on digital media production as well as broadcasting and hosting skills; a visit to Xinjiang in early July; and a mid-programme sharing session in late July. At today's closing ceremony, the Solar Ambassadors shared their learning outcomes through a variety of formats, telling the nation's story to the world from a youthful perspective. Ms Lee encouraged the Solar Ambassadors to sustain their passion and curiosity, to keep exploring and embrace innovation, and to continuously develop themselves in order to be well prepared to seize future opportunities.
 
     Other guests attending the closing ceremony included Senior Curriculum Development Officer (Personal, Social and Humanities Education) of the Education Bureau Ms Carmen Chan, members of the RTHK Advisory Committee, and representatives from co-organising and sponsoring organisations.
 
     RTHK will produce a special programme, "Solar Project", to comprehensively document the highlights of this year's activities. The programme will air on RTHK TV31 for three consecutive Fridays beginning August 28 at 9.30pm.
 
     Solar Project 2026 is jointly organised by RTHK and the Hong Kong Chinese Culture Development Association, sponsored by the B&P Foundation, and funded by the HYAB Funding Scheme for Youth Exchange in the Mainland.
