The eTournament was held for the second consecutive year to raise students’ awareness of the United Nations SDGs and enhance their ability to work with peers on specific tasks. This year’s event attracted enthusiastic participation of 252 students from 18 secondary schools in the Greater China region, and a total of 11 awards were presented to outstanding teams and students. 

After the ceremony, the participants embarked on a two-day exchange tour, including visits to the HKBU campus, HKBU Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School, as well as the Tin Ka Ping Foundation where they met with its Chairman Mr. Sam Tin Hing Sin. The tour gave them the opportunity to experience the humanistic ambience and advanced facilities of HKBU, as well as make friends with people from different cultural backgrounds.
