Striving Towards a Common Goal
In July 2024, the Amity Foundation, Hong Kong (“Amity HK”) organised the Green Pitch Pals Joint School Football Camp, welcoming primary school students from Anhui, Guizhou and Jiangsu to engage in friendly training and competition with local talent from SKH Holy Spirit Primary School, SKH Holy Cross Primary School, SKH Kei Fook Primary School, SKH Tak Tin Lee Shiu Keung Primary School, SKH Mung Yan Primary School and SKH Tsing Yi Chu Yan Primary School. This first-ever Football Camp is a significant milestone for Amity HK’s efforts in promoting cultural exchange between Hong Kong and Mainland students.
The 4-day training programme was designed to foster deeper mutual understanding between students across the border and broaden their horizons through the “international language” of football. Executive Director of Amity HK, Mr. Keith Yau developed and led the training course. Mr. Yau commented, “This four-day camp allowed the young students to learn professional football skills and interact with each other in diverse training sessions. Through these interactions, they came to understand that accepting different cultures helps build a greater team!”

In addition to honing their athletic prowess, the young footballers also got to learn more about Hong Kong’s culture as they visited several of the city’s best-known tourism spots, including Ocean Park, the Hong Kong Palace Museum and visiting a local primary school.
