UM, Macao Basic Law Promotion Association organise training programme to promote Constitution and Basic Law

To nurture talent who exhibit love for the country and Macao and to enhance the promotion of the Constitution and the Basic Law, the University of Macau (UM) and the Macao Basic Law Promotion Association jointly organised the fourth edition of the ‘UM Constitution and Basic Law Student Ambassadors Training Programme’ and held an opening ceremony.

Mok Kai Meng, vice rector of UM, said in his speech that, young people are a crucial force in promoting the ‘one country, two systems’ policy. Therefore, UM is committed to fostering patriotism among its students, and attaches great importance to the development and innovation of Constitution and Basic Law education. The training programme integrates theoretical learning, residential college life, and community experiences for better effectiveness. He also encouraged the participants to do their best to contribute to the advancement of the ‘one country, two systems’ policy.

The students participating in the training programme are top performers selected from UM’s courses on the Constitution and the Basic Law. They will conduct promotional activities on the two laws within their respective residential colleges. Each of the ten residential colleges will then select ten outstanding representatives to join the ‘Macao Basic Law Youth Ambassadors Training Programme’ organised by the Macao Basic Law Promotion Association, where they will promote the two laws in primary and secondary schools in Macao.
