ICAC plants the seeds of integrity at HK Book Fair
2017-7-23
The Children's Paradise Section at the Hong Kong Book Fair 2017 was temporarily turned into a fun-packed classroom this afternoon as parents and their children enjoyed an interactive performance by ICAC cartoon characters and helped them solve an ethical dilemma.
Sharing parenting tips after the performance today (July 23), ICAC’s Director of Community Relations Mr Raymond Ng Kwok-ming said it was the ICAC’s belief that moral education should start early both at home and at schools.
“Parents and teachers are our close partners. It is important to instil positive values such as honesty, responsibility and fairness in children at an early stage so that they can better resist the temptation of corruption in future,” said Mr Ng.
Mr Ng pointed out that moral education was a long-term process and since the early 80s, the ICAC had developed teaching packages tailored for kindergarten children, primary school pupils as well as secondary and tertiary students to tie in with their different development stages.
“For young children, parenting activities are among the most effective tools. Through story-telling and interactive games, parents can plant the seeds of integrity in their children and let them take root,” Mr Ng said.
Joining Mr Ng at today’s event were media veteran Akina Fong Kin-yee and ICAC’s Gee-Dor-Dor cartoon characters.
This is the fourth consecutive year for the ICAC to participate in the annual Hong Kong Book Fair. This year the ICAC booth, featuring parenting activities under its “All for Integrity” education and publicity programme, is located at the Children's Paradise Section in Hall 3B - C25 of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The booth features a selfie corner with a triangular table used in the ICAC’s Video Interview Room and projected by three-dimensional visual illusion art. Parents may engage their children in different activities at the booth, such as quizzes about the ICAC, voting for “My Favourite Gee-Dor-Dor Cartoon Character”, tongue-twister games, spin-the-wheel games and photo-taking with Gee-Dor-Dor cartoon characters.
The ICAC booth also displays the Commission’s anti-corruption and moral education publications as well as multi-media productions. Visitors may redeem the ICAC’s latest “All for Integrity” Parenting Booklet by downloading an electronic voucher from its website.
Members of the public may visit the ICAC’s dedicated webpage (www.icac.org.hk/icac/hkbookfair) (in Chinese only) for details of the programme.
