A review of the remarkable moments from the Youth Dreams.

Octone Foundation partnered once again with the AMG Volunteer Group to take Po Leung Kuk out of home care children to Victoria Park Lunar New Year Fair.

At the “Youth Dreams Come True – Ride with Your Dreams” charity carnival, the Octone Foundation partnered with the “Artamin” co-creation workshop to launch a large-scale public art project themed around “Dreamcatchers.” Together with artist Beiya Yang and curator Karl Law, the team utilized the warmth of weaving to build an interactive platform where children, teenagers, and families could articulate their dreams and messages. Over two days, participants completed three massive woven installations: one signature piece specially created for the Foundation, and two panels co-created live by the public. More than just an art activity, this collaboration served as a vivid practice of youth arts education, community engagement, and collective benevolence, standing as the carnival's visual and emotional core where countless dreams were woven, witnessed, and treasured.

The Second “Youth Dreams -Ride the Dream” Charity Carnival, organized by the Octone Foundation in the spirit of gratitude and giving back while embracing sustainable corporate development, will be held on 10–11 January 2026 at TWGHs Tung Po Hu Lee Ming Ching Sports Centre, No. 2 Tsat Po Street, San Po Kong, Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon. Co-hosted in collaboration with Hong Kong Customs, the Fire Services Department, and the Police Community Relations Office—together with support from over ten well-known local enterprises—this two-day, feel-good celebration features fun game booths, immersive workshop experiences, instant-photo check-in spots, energetic live music, and surprise guest appearances. Everyone is warmly invited to join, share kindness, and cheer on youth and dreams through meaningful action.

This event is generously supported by enthusiastic patrons, allowing young children and volunteers to visit the Ocean Park together.

Octone Foundation, together with the children, arrived at the Ronald McDonald House to embark on an unforgettable journey. One of the highlights of the trip was a specially prepared party organized by the sponsors for the kids. At the party, the children not only enjoyed a variety of delicious food and fun games but also had the opportunity to interact with volunteers and other children. This experience played a significant role in enhancing their social skills and learning basic social etiquette.

As one of the most influential arts events in Asia, the 2025 Art Basel Hong Kong Exhibition was successfully concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center from March 26 to 30.

Enhancing teenagers' confidence through art can also foster connections between people. This event has specially invited Fu Chadqing , a young artist from the Beijing Jin Shangyi Art Foundation, to participate in Hong Kong. Known for his expertise in depicting urban landscapes, he will showcase the cityscapes of both Beijing and Hong Kong through his paintings, allowing everyone to experience the cultural differences and charm of the two cities. At the same time, it is hoped that teenagers can discover themselves and achieve personal growth through art.

This allowed children and parents to make mooncakes together, reflecting the meaning of family reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
