Greetings from The Education University of Hong Kong!

On behalf of the Department of Social Sciences and Policy Studies (SSPS), The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), and the Hong Kong Geographical Association (HKGA), we are pleased to invite your school to participate in Hong Kong Geography Day 2026, which will be held on 12 December 2026 (Saturday) at the Tai Po Campus of EdUHK.

Hong Kong Geography Day (HKGD) is a biennial event that brings together geography educators, researchers, students, and practitioners. It provides an excellent opportunity for secondary school students to learn more about geography studies at the university level and to explore future academic pathways.

The theme of HKGD 2026, "Geography and Care: Nature, Communities and Sustainability", highlights the importance of fostering a greater understanding of the interconnections between people, places, and the environment. The event aims to bring together geography educators, researchers, students, and practitioners to exchange ideas and explore contemporary geographical issues.

The programme will feature a wide range of activities, including:

• Opening Ceremony and Keynote Speeches;
• Award Presentation Ceremony for the Hong Kong Geography Olympiad (HKGEO) and the International Geography Olympiad (iGeo);
• Introductions to university geography programmes and learning opportunities;
• Secondary School Talks on geography education and learning experiences;
• Guided Field Trip to Lei Yue Mun (exclusively for secondary school teachers);
• Open House of SSPS, EdUHK
• Student Poster and Paper Presentations;
• Exhibitions by university geography programmes, government departments, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs); and
• Networking opportunities for teachers and students.

To facilitate participants' travel, complimentary inbound and outbound shuttle bus services between University Station (East Rail Line) and the EdUHK Tai Po Campus will be provided for all participants attending HKGD 2026.

We believe that HKGD 2026 will provide a valuable opportunity for students to broaden their geographical horizons, gain insights into university study and career pathways, and interact with members of the wider geography community.

Please find the event programme attached for your reference. We warmly invite teachers and students from your school to participate by completing the online registration form by 27 November 2026 (Friday).
