| Friendship on the Road |
|
Giving young people the opportunity to broaden their horizons is both a passion and commitment of the Federation. Our new multi-faceted initiative, One Belt One Road One Friendship embraces independent travel and exchange, study and learning, art and culture, encouraging and ensuring that youth are able to grab every current possibility.
Come and help us put these young people on the road.
The Belt and Road Initiative* connects economies and supports development along its routes, just as it builds understanding, trust and relationships while deepening connectivity between people.
One Belt One Road One Friendship is putting this into action so that today's young people can be well prepared for tomorrow.
Join us in this exciting project. Why not sponsor educational, learning backpacking trips to cities on the Belt and Road:
| To Mainland China |
HK$20,000 per group |
| To South Asia |
HK$30,000 per group |
| To Europe |
HK$60,000 per group |
Learn more at m21.hk/friendship or call 2169 0255 for further information.
*The Belt and Road Initiative was emphasized in this year's Policy Address.
