During the ongoing pandemic, we organised the We Love Dance programme with an aim to energise the city. I was very impressed with the creativity of the contestants who incorporated elements of love and environmental protection into their dances, promoting green lifestyles and low-carbon living to the public in a novel and fun way.
This is very much consistent with our goal to make Hong Kong a sustainable and dynamic city towards its goal of achieving carbon neutrality before 2050.' Officiating guest, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Mr Kevin Yeung, said, 'Art has no boundaries. The finalists are very original and they inventively communicated the messages of green living through their inspiring dance pieces.

The SAR Government encourages creativity and innovation in the pursuit of arts. Hong Kong is a place with a unique culture and a melting pot of Chinese Culture and cultures around the world, we hope to develop Hong Kong further into a vibrant city where diverse cultures shine.' The finalists competed for awards in a children and youth category and an open category.
