This year, the theme of the Spring Reception was peach blossoms, representing the energy of young people, and the arrival of hope and happiness. We invited students from S.K.H. Tsang Shiu Tim Secondary School Dance Club to perform Chinese fan dance, leading guests into the Blossoms Utopia! In the coming year, AYP will continue to maintain close cooperation with different organisations and units to work hard for the development of young people!

獎勵計劃首次以混合模式進行野外鍛鍊科課程，將會帶領19位參加者於4月16-21日赴台北進行「踏步台灣!鄧慕蓮博士AYP金章級野外鍛鍊科遠足及單車課程」。AYP自十一月起，多次舉辦遠足及單車訓練，與參加者穿梭香港各區，協助參加者作好全面準備。由日營開始，到最近一次三日兩夜訓練行程，參加者已逐漸適應長距離路程訓練，為四月的台灣之旅打下結實根基。

This is the first time the Award Office organise Mixed Journey Mode course. AYP will lead 19 participants to Taipei on 16-21 April, to complete the “Gold Level Taiwan Adventurous Journey Training Course”, with the support from “Dr. Irene Tang AYP International Exchange Programme Fund”. Since November, AYP has organised multiple hiking and cycling training, assist participants in thorough preparation. From the day camp to the most recent three-day, two-night training itinerary, participants have gradually adapted to long-distance training, laying a solid foundation for the trip to Taiwan in April.

於2月26日晚上，我們舉辦了康樂體育科週年研討會 -「單車運動資訊及野外急救」工作坊。我們很榮幸邀請到香港青年獎勵計劃康樂體育科科委員會副科主任及香港註冊物理治療師邱啟政先生及國際野外醫學協會野外急救講師威廉為我們今次研討會擔任講者。他們分別講解了單車安全意識和野外急救的要點，包括教授參加者進行不同伸展運動，及安排情境演練，模擬處理在戶外發生意外的狀況。相信今次工作坊，能大大提升參加者的單車運動安全意識及野外急救知識。

On 26 February, AYP organised Physical Recreation Section Annual Seminar - "Cycling Information and Wilderness First Aid Workshop”. We were honoured to have Mr. Yau Kai Ching, the Vice-convenver of the Hong Kong Award for Young People Physical Recreation Section Panel and registered physiotherapist in Hong Kong, and Mr. William, the Wilderness Medical Associates International's Instructor, as our speakers for the seminar.

Mr. Yau shared bicycle safety awareness, and led participants to experience various stretching exercises, while Mr. William explained wilderness first aid concepts through case studies about handling of common wilderness accident situations. We believe the seminar has significantly enhanced the participants' cycling safety awareness and wilderness first aid knowledge.
