Annual Report 2025

The Legislative Council (“LegCo”) seeks to engage with the public and enhance public understanding of its work. A range of education, visitor, and multimedia services are available to bring up-to-date information of LegCo to the public. LegCo has also connected with the public via its website, mobile application (“mobile app”) and other social media channels.

A wide range of education and visitor services provided for the public in the LegCo Complex are designed to give participants the opportunity to meet and engage with Members. Members conduct guided tours of the Complex and participate in education activities held for schools following the tours, such as interactive learning activities on the work of LegCo, as ‍well as story-telling about rules and collaborative activities. In addition to on-site activities, the Secretariat also continued to provide online education activities for schools during the session.

Under the Meeting with Members programme, Members and students engage in two-way dialogue. Students may raise questions about topics or current issues of concern to them, while Members may likewise better understand young people’s views and concerns. Music performances, an ‍integral part of the programme, given by schools and youth music groups, were also conducted twice in this session.

During the session, the Secretariat has continued to conduct the Teacher Programme to enhance the understanding of teachers and their students regarding the role and functions of LegCo, and to introduce various educational resources provided by the Secretariat in support of teaching. Through a series of interactive dialogue sessions, Members and teachers exchanged views on topics related to youth development and values education.

The Secretariat has revamped the Children’s Corner to provide facilities suitable for young children and to serve as a legislature-themed educational space. It offers a relaxed and engaging environment for children to learn about the work of LegCo and enhance civic awareness through storytelling sessions, interactive games, and visual aids developed by the Secretariat.

A brand new multi-purpose Education Activities Room was also launched during the session. Designed to resemble the Chamber, the Room enables visitors from schools and non-profit-making youth organizations to participate in role-play activities and mock Council debates to gain a better understanding of the role and functions of LegCo.

Various types of information of LegCo are provided through the LegCo website and mobile app to keep the public abreast of the latest development of LegCo business. To improve the overall digital presentation and searchability of the LegCo business, the Library Office has strengthened the search engine optimization strategy for the LegCo website.

To enhance the dissemination of information, the video records of open meetings and activities of LegCo and its committees are posted on the YouTube channel, and the relevant photos are uploaded to the Flickr album for viewing and sharing. Meanwhile, the mobile app with functions such as “Press Release”, “Latest Publications”, “Photo Gallery” and “Push Notification” provides the public using mobile devices a quick access to the most up-to-date information about LegCo.
