Youth Matters
International connections
This summer three programmes have welcomed speakers, guests and participants from all over as far afield as Mexico and Moscow and 14 countries in between. At the same time, the backpackers project sees local young people travel to 24 countries along the Belt and Road.

The Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum, Dragon 100 and Leaders to Leaders enable local young people to gain a deeper understanding of the world around them by meeting people and experiencing first hand other cultures, histories and traditions. This is the best way to learn. And it is the best way to make international connections.

Call Ms Brenda Yip to discuss your ideas at 3755 7101. Visit our website, hkfyg.org.hk, to see examples of our work and services for youth.
