Engaging the community

Hong Kong Book fair

Engaging the public and keeping the issue of integrity alive in their daily life is of vital importance to our anti-graft campaign.

To reach our target audience, in particular the young generations, the Commission actively participates in community events to spread the probity messages to the citizens. The ICAC’s continuous participation in the Hong Kong Book Fair is a typical example.

Promoting integrity in ‘Children’s Paradise’

Visiting the Hong Kong Book Fair held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is one of the most popular summer activities for local citizens. For the sixth consecutive year, the ICAC rode on this annual even to reach out to youngsters and their parents.

This year the ICAC booth was decorated as a “cartoon café” featuring ICAC’s signature cartoon character, the flying rabbit “Gee-Dor-Dor”. The booth presented the newly-launched virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) interactive games, and colourful selfie-walls, while the Commission’s moral education publications as well as “Gee-Dor-Dor” teaching packages were also on display.

Through the VR game, participants could play as an ICAC investigator to search for evidence of corruption in a crime scene. Meanwhile, the AR game introduced participants to a virtual ICAC video interview room. Those games helped members of the public, especially the youngsters, better understand the work of the ICAC.

To help the ICAC disseminate positive values to young children, a well-known host for children TV programmes was invited to share a story with positive values and her experience in getting on with young children. In addition, Director of Community Relations Mr Ho Wai-chi also shared with the audience the ICAC’s continuous efforts and latest initiatives for moral education.
