Theme: Pressing Pause

Our theme will be “Pressing Pause”, stressing an importance to take a “pause” in our busy lives to reflect on societal matters. This applies specifically to our intended audience/community as Hong Kong is often known as “the city that never sleeps”, emphasizing the nature of citizens’ lifestyles. By taking a “pause”, we hope to encourage citizens to reflect on their lives and the impact of their actions. The audience would be confronted with their somewhat ignorant behaviour as our talk will reveal the truth behind certain issues that are often left unseen, thus inspiring the audience to take positive action.
