In preparation of Hong Kong’s hosting of the 2009 East Asian Games and to raise local students’ awareness of our role as the host, the Federation has joined hand with the Leisure & Cultural Services Department (LCSD) to organize a “School Sports Education Programme – Olympism and 2009 East Asian Games” which will be held from 2005 to 2007 targeting at all local Primary and Secondary Schools. We are proud to have the sanction and support of the International Olympic Committee, as well as Hong Kong’s elite athletes (including Ms. Chiu Wing Yin Rebecca, Mr. Fan Chun Yip, Mr. Fu Ka Chun Marco, Ms. Ho Ka Lai, Ms. Li Fai and Mr. Lui Chor Wai) to this meaningful programme.

The programme is composed of three parts with details as followings:-
Part I – Outreach Seminars
Speakers, including retired elite athletes, NSAs elected officers, experienced sports leaders and lecturers of universities, will be assigned to conduct talks in schools. The topics of the talk include Olympism, Olympic Movement, 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games and Hong Kong’s participation in Multi-Sports Games (National Games).
Part II – In-house Programmes
Students will be invited to attend one of the sessions (12 sessions a year) held in Sports House. Apart from talks conducted by qualified speakers, the programme also includes an elite athletes’ sharing session, which allows students to meet their sports heroes face to face.
Part III – Display panels
Schools can apply for the use of the specially designed display panels (1m (W) x 2m (H)) for one week. These display panels contain information in relation to the history of Olympic Games and its impacts to our society, the preparation of Beijing Olympics and 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games.
The Hon. Timothy T. T. FOK, President of the Federation, in today’s press conference said that “Rome was not built in one single day and so as the 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games. We have to start our preparation and promotion years ahead. This programme does not just enrich students’ general knowledge in sports but also helps to cultivate a sports culture among our youngsters to prepare them for the 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games as the host.”
