A three-day event aimed at fostering the development of diverse talents among young people was unveiled at the Nam Cheong district community center on Friday.
"SPARKFEST 2026 @ Youth Link — Nam Cheong" is dedicated to supporting and nurturing the skills and aspirations of youth. Participants can engage in a creative market, AI video generation and music therapy workshops, as well as pop-up dance classes and song-recording sessions.
The program will run through Sunday, with live music performances by young singers enhancing the experience over the course of the three days.
Established by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, the platform provides an engaging opportunity for the public to immerse themselves in the vibrant spirit of youth.
