Five students from the Advertising and Corporate Communication (JAC) Programme participated in the “Volvo Cars HK Bicycling E-Gen Challenge” to observe how an event is run during the Easter holiday between 31 March and 1 April, 2018.
Through an active participation and observation, the five students learned more about the work of public relations practitioners in a real context. Besides giving support to launch the opening ceremony, they also assisted the public to take part in “bicycling to generate power”.
This 2-day CSR event aims to promote a new concept of environmental driving and encourage the public to participate in charity activities and caring for the underprivileged families.
The responses were overwhelming with a total of 698 common people and volunteers engaging in this 2-day CSR activity, including Ex-HK Olympic cycling athletes, Chan Chun Hing and Jemie Wong, as well as a famous actor Michael Tong. By continuously riding on the bicycle to generate electricity, the event successfully raised HK$50,000 for the NGO – Treats. Donated by Volvo Cars HK, the money is expected to help more than 100 families for some kind of alleviation.
