Hong Kong Education City (EdCity) has launched its 25th-anniversary celebrations with a lineup of brand-new initiatives aimed at inspiring students and teachers alike. The highlight of the kick-off was the Learning from Experts series, held on 14 March 2025, featuring Olympic gold medallist and Hong Kong fencing icon, Ms Vivian Kong Man Wai, MH. The event, hosted both in-person and via live stream, drew over 2,000 participants from across the region.
Ms Kong shared her journey as an elite athlete, including the challenges she faced and the lessons she learned along the way, encouraging students to pursue their passions with unwavering dedication.
The event also featured an interactive Q&A session where students from primary and secondary schools had the opportunity to engage directly with Ms Kong. One student expressed that after hearing about her experience of recovering from an injury before a competition and still striving to compete, she was deeply moved and learned to face future challenges with perseverance.
