During this event, 120 Hong Kong students will undertake a six-week internship, experiencing working and living in Foshan.

At the launching ceremony, Yu Qiusheng, Deputy Director of the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Foshan Party Committee, hoped that Hong Kong young students could better understand the cultural, economic and social environment of Foshan through their living and working experiences, so as to better contribute to the development of the GBA.

In the next six weeks, the Hong Kong youths will have the opportunity to work in different places, including Foshan Museum, Foshan Exhibition Center, and Lingnan Tiandi. And on weekends, they will also participate in different events such as experiencing Lingnan culture and the rural revitalization, allowing them to further enhance cultural identity and national awareness.

The GBA Hong Kong Youth Internship Program is a youth student exchange and internship program jointly promoted by Guangdong Provincial Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and the HKSAR Government, which has been held since 2015 and has become the largest official youth internship program in the GBA.

The relaunch of this program this year has received an overwhelming number of applications from young students in Hong Kong, who expresses great anticipation. Li Zixuan, one of the participants, believes that this event provides a valuable opportunity for Hong Kong students to better understand the development of the GBA, thereby making it very helpful for their future career.
