china everbright voice of the stars story-telling scheme
to help cultivate a better understanding and greater awareness of chinese history among hong kong’s young people, china everbright limited launched the “china everbright voice of the stars story-telling scheme” in 2016. title-sponsored by china everbright limited, the project is run by endeavour education centre limited. the fund of endeavour education centre mainly comes from endeavour education trust. endeavour education trust is a non-profit, non-governmental charitable organisation with a mission to provide opportunities for local youths to learn more about china’s history and culture, and acquire a more solid understanding of the country’s development. through different avenues and platforms, and by organising a diverse range of activities, the centre aims to help the younger generation develop a historical perspective and sense of belonging to china, as well as cultivate a positive attitude towards learning so that youths will contribute to the future development of hong kong and china.
