O Camp 2.0 to promote cross-generational integration and create SDG World Record

To promote productive ageing and intergenerational harmony, LU joined hands with RTHK Radio 5, the New Territories West Elder Academies Cluster, and Wofoo Social Enterprises to organise O Camp 2.0 on the LU campus on 17 June.

The camp attracted over 500 seniors, primary and secondary school students, and LU student ambassadors, and featured an array of activities, including a lecture on ‘Exploring the Metaverse’ and a mobile gerontechnology lab set up by LU’s Institute of Policy Studies, showcasing and allowing the elderly to experience gerontech healthcare, dining, living, transport, engagement and learning products.

The “Multi-age groups uploaded avatars to Facebook in one hour” SDG World Record Challenge was the climax of the event - over 500 participants joined forces to create this SDG world record by designing their own virtual avatars, which were subsequently uploaded onto a designated Facebook page.
