The pandemic has changed our way of living dramatically over the past few years. As the outbreak appears to be stabilising, working practices and economic development are gradually turning positive. Opening a new chapter for our future, how will Hong Kong change and be affected in the next five years? For the keynote talk at the School’s Open Day this year, Mr Shum Yat-fei, an experienced cultural practitioner, will share his views on Hong Kong’s overall development from 2022 to 2027 and the expectations of the new government by looking at Classical Chinese Combinatorics.

Apart from the social environment, technology is also changing the future. The Metaverse in particular, may bring humans into a brand new virtual reality. People could play games, hold conversations, grocery shop, watch movies, and do anything you can think of in a virtual universe. But how would this technology, if it happens, change our lives? Dr Lucas Hui, Chief Technology Officer of Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute, looks at the possible impacts of the Metaverse on the social environment, entertainment and healthcare.

There will be nearly 30 talks covering topics as varied as market trends, language and culture, professions and careers and wellness and health. Grab the opportunity to explore more about cryptocurrency and NFTs, investigate the relationship between language and culture, and learn how to maintain your physical and mental health.
