Night of Ideas is back in Hong Kong in 2025!
The Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, the French Centre for Research on Contemporary China (CEFC) are thrilled to announce that "Nuit des Idรฉes" (Night of Ideas) is back in Hong Kong with an exciting programme throughout 2025! This global event, celebrated across five continents, invites participants to explore the theme of "Empowerment" through a series of discussions and activities.
The Night of Ideas will commence with a launch event at the Asia Society Hong Kong Center on April 7, 2025. As the inaugural event this year, this evening will feature thought-provoking performances and activities on three specific areas of empowerment:
- Blue Talk: Preserving Our Ocean
- Ageing, social inclusion and intergenerational initiatives
- Rights of LGBT+ People
Following these dynamic sessions, there will be an enlightening round table discussion on the topic of "Empowerment" as an invitation to ask ourselves how we can take effective action on major contemporary global issues, to explore the participation of young people and civil society in public decision-making, and to provide a platform for debate.
Preserving Our Ocean
An exhibition of marine life photographs will be available at the cocktail area. A Virtual Reality VR experience created by a professor from HKUST's Department of Ocean Science will be featured with two headsets available. These activities will invite participants to think about ocean protection in the context of the upcoming third United Nations Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France where world leaders and major stakeholders as well as the civil society will gather to discuss on ways to save our ocean for a sustainable future.
Ageing, social inclusion and intergenerational initiatives
A 10-minute performance by elderly individuals with Parkinson's, supported by students from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, will be presented as part of the Jockey Club's "Dance Well" program. This beautiful program will be explained and some of the dancers will share their thoughts on this initiative planting the seeds for new ideas to grow within the audience.
Rights of LGBT+ People
A preview of a short documentary will be screened with a presentation by the filmmaker. The public will be invited to view the full film and participate in the discussions at the December event.
