Rotary Club of Lan Kwai Fong

A collective effort of over 30 volunteers over a period of close to one year, LIFE DECODE objective is to assist a group of "youth at risks" sway from violence.  Through a overnight camp, a mock trial, a dog training program, and a war game, these "youth at risks" gained confidence and learned from experience the effects of violence.  For some, volunteers and participants alike, the Life Decode project has been life changing.  Our findings have been published in a book which we plan to distribute to schools and other HKFYG branches.

LIFE DECODE service project closing ceremony hosted on 17 May 2009 at North Point HKFYG Building. This is a project sponsored by Rotary Club of Lan Kwai Fong and Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups.  During the closing ceremony, besides a press conference of the launching a Report recorded the results gained from this meaningful programme, there is also a sharing among the youth participated and warm hearted volunteers from Rotary Club of Lan Kwai Fong. 

The Report has indicated over 80% youth participated have ceased the involvement in group violence and moreover obviously improvement in attitude can be seen. The youth have learnt to deal with daily conflicts and positive thinking which turns out less group violence happened. These changes are all through experimental learning, cognitive behavior therapy and mentorship activities. 

At the same time, a report for LIFE DECODE is printed and will dispatch to schools and youth related associations in order to provide reference for helping the youth violence problems. The report has described in detail of the programme with all necessary skills and considered a very practical tool for volunteers.

荃葵半數青少曾經群暴  

近年不時發生青少年集體毆鬥事件，一項調查顯示，荃灣及葵涌區的受訪青少年中，一半在過去一年曾參與群暴，近一成更曾參與十次或以上；近五成認同協助朋友進行群暴行為是義氣的表現；逾四成認為自己沒有能力拒絕參與群暴。負責調查的機構曾接觸最年輕的個案是一名小六生，認為部分青少年盲目相信以暴易暴，呼籲各界正視及協助高危青少年作出正面改變。
