Project SHINE – TREATS’ Inclusive Work-based Learning Project for EM Youth

Sports Play Out! Gamified Sports Training Project for Ethnic Minorities Youth

“Sports Play Out! Gamified Sports Training Project for Ethnic Minorities Youth” was launched in January 2021. It is a creative project that combined gamified sports training, skills empowerment and career opportunities for EM youth in Hong Kong.

The project aims at developing EM youth’s communication, interpersonal and teamwork skills, and confidence through gamified sports, and empowering them to work in the mainstream setting to maximize their exposure and participation in local communities, so that their social network and social capital can be enhanced. The project also aims at expanding their future career opportunities and increasing their social mobility in Hong Kong. We believe that the project would change public’s perception by enhancing their awareness and acceptance towards the EM youth through fun and interactive gamified sports programmes.

“ When I first joined this project, I was not confident at all about standing up in front of people and coaching them. But through a series of training and placements, I am now confident enough to coach, and I realized the true meaning of “if you never try, it never works. ”
