It often takes a crisis or a catastrophe to expose what we truly value as a society. In the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen clearly how a social lockdown seriously impacts the wellness of our next generations. Whether it be in the academic, physical, social or emotional aspects, we all agree that our next generation is the future of society, and we all value their healthy development. As our community is opening up and trying to get back to normal, one of our urgent tasks is to rebuild the holistic wellness of our children and youth.

By looking at the reflection in a mirror, one will find themselves different from what one thought and will be able to reflect and improve by thriving beyond the mirror (especially youth) and will break through one’s limits and improve on the past self. It is essential in this post-pandemic era when youth have to come out of their cocoons and face the real world again.

Both “Beyond“ and “Mirror“ happened to be popular bands in HK from the 1980s to the 2020s. No matter which generation they are, young people strive to achieve their aspirations and realize their dreams. The older generation is like a mirror image of the young and is always willing to share with them their past experiences and hoping the new generation can travel beyond.

Therefore, this year's theme, "Beyond the Mirror," hopes to help young people escape their predicament and break through their limitations. But, at the same time, this mirror is a clear reflection of the older generation. The older generation, who was once young, can see themselves in the same position that the youth are in, and they hope to share something that can help them grow from that position.
