Olympian Kids Imagineer "Celebrating the New Year with Kids" Chinese Cultural Arts Project

Olympian City is dedicated to promoting sustainable development activities. In 2019, we pioneered the "Olympian Kids Imagineer" program, inviting children to become part of the advisory group and collaborate in planning various award-winning large-scale mall promotional events, such as "Alien Planet Christmas Party" and "Joyful Adventure." Led by experts from different fields, children are encouraged to unleash their unlimited creativity and put into practice the concept of "children designing and planning activities" to promote their overall development, including teamwork, communication and social skills, and building self-confidence. This unique initiative allows children to take the lead in driving the planning of large-scale mall events in Hong Kong.

As Lunar New Year approaches, Olympian City is recruiting a new generation of "Olympian Kids Imagineer" for the "Celebrating the New Year with Kids" Chinese Cultural Arts Project. Children between the ages of 6 and 10 are invited to join as little advisors. Registered children will undergo interviews conducted by mentors, and 15 children will be selected as members of the "Olympian Kids Imagineer" for this project. They will participate in a series of Chinese Lunar New Year cultural and artistic training courses to help plan large-scale Lunar New Year activities at Olympian City. They will also take part in a grand lion dance parade during the Lantern Festival, showcasing their remarkable achievements to the public.
