\ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb On May 19, 2026, the preliminary round of the “2026 Secondary School Model UNESCO International Conference \u2013 Ethics of Neurotechnology ” was successfully completed. The project is title-sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong), organised by the UNESCO Hong Kong Association and the Hong Kong Institute of Education for Sustainable Development, and supported by the World Federation of Clubs and Associations for UNESCO. 56 outstanding teams from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have advanced to the regional conference on July 4, where they will collaborate on presenting the “Youth Perspective on the Ethical Development and Application of Neurotechnology in the Greater Bay Area.” The winning teams will then join 18 teams of secondary school student representatives from around the world on July 25 for the international conference, promoting cross-cultural youth exchange, broadening global perspectives, and providing a unique platform for youth to reflect and negotiate on the ethical challenges posed by cutting-edge technologies.<\/p>\n

The conference promoted cross-cultural dialogue and educational cooperation, raising young people’s awareness and encouraged actions for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project empahsised on exchanges and mutual understanding between youth, under the Belt and Road Initiative. Nearly 1,000 students submitted preliminary videos, sharing specific cases of ethical challenges in neurotechnology applications, and proposing solutions through research and analysis, demonstrating outstanding global vision and the power of youth.<\/p>\n
