What is expected from the youth today is to be more responsible in their choices and as such to work towards securing their future, said the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Sylvio Tang Wah Hing, yesterday afternoon at the Sir Gaëtan Duval Hotel School in Ebène. The Minister was speaking at the launching ceremony of the Youth Excellence Award - 2008 Edition. In his speech, Minister Tang Wah Hing said that government and the Ministry of Youth and Sports are ensuring that young people are benefitting from appropriate training and are being given the right support so as to come up with innovative projects. The Minister called for greater participation from young people in the Youth Excellence Award - 2008 Edition, adding that the youth have the potential and talent to succeed. The Youth Excellence Award provides young people the opportunity to develop their ideas in social, economic, cultural, artistic and other youth-related fields in the form of a project and to improve their presentation skills. The Award also aims to reward outstanding projects, especially those projects which demonstrate a sense of initiative and a search for excellence by young people working either on individual or group basis. Young people aged between 14 and 29 years are invited to submit projects focusing on any one of the following areas of interest: Community Work and Social Integration, Artistic Pursuit, Entrepreneurship and Initiatives for Employment, Preservation/Protection of the Environment, and Youth Leadership.
