ICAC launches new children website to promote positive values
2007-1-6
The ICAC today (Saturday) launched an interactive website, the Kidsland , to promote positive values such as integrity and honesty among children.
Speaking at the Kidsland Inauguration Show , ICAC's Director of Community Relations, Mrs Erika Hui Lam Yin-ming, said the ICAC had placed much emphasis on fostering positive values amongst young people as part of the community education efforts to promote a probity culture.
In 2000, the ICAC launched a website “TEENSLAND” designed for youngsters aged between 13 and 17, which now registers daily average hits of over 100,000.
In the light of a growing number of young Internet surfers and the popularity of “TEENSLAND” , Mrs Hui said the ICAC developed a dedicated website, the “Kidsland”, for children aged between six and 12.
Positive values including honesty, fairness and a law-abiding spirit are to be promulgated through comic strips, Gee-dor-dor cartoons, e-games and competitions on the “Kidsland” ( www.kidsland.icac.hk ).
The website also introduces the history of the ICAC and the definition of corruption through a lively column.
There is a parenting corner for parents to share their experience and play games with their children.
The Commission would also co-organise activities with primary schools for students to further promote the anti-corruption messages, Mrs Hui added.
Other officiating guests include Mr Kwan Chuk-fai, Member of ICAC's Citizens Advisory Committee on Community Relations; Ms Shirley Loo, Convenor of Organising Committee of ICAC's children website; Mr Clarence Yang Kut-si, Head of RTHK's Radio 2; Ms Jacque line Cheng Ming-fung, Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Education City Limited; and Mr Chris Yu Wing-fai, Vice-chairperson of the Committee on Home-School Cooperation.
