Vision And Mission

Vision

To become the focal point of Hong Kong’s territory-wide youth development activities.

Mission

Youth Square provides a relaxed, reliable and safe environment that is full of fun and surprises for youth to explore every possibility of their potential.

Background

Youth Square is a government venue, and a youth development initiative launched by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau. Facilities include the 643-seat Y Theatre, Y Studio, Y Platform, multi-purpose area, office, retail shop and the Y loft which has 148 guest rooms. Youth Square aims to realize the Bureau’s vision and purpose in promoting social harmony and civic education.

We Care for Youth

Youth Square has been conducting events under three major themes, including “Music & Dance”, “Arts & Culture” and “Community Engagement”. And we adopt the 6G model which serves as the guiding principles in our youth development initiatives. The 6G refers to Groom, Growth, Glow, Green, Global Vision and Give Back.

Design Concept

The groundbreaking architectural design of Youth Square comes from the winning entry of the Architectural Design Competition jointly organized by the HKSAR Government and the Hong Kong Institute of Architects. The innovative spatial design reflects the identity of a new generation and utilizes three major design concepts to exemplify youth’s uninhibited character.

An Organic Approach

The innovative organic approach unifies different activity areas, and integrates seemingly unrelated activities to encourage youth's thirst for knowledge about their surroundings.

The Hallway-Open Space Approach

Hallways are generally a transversal space in ordinary buildings, but Youth Square’s architect has successfully redefined them into wide and opened public spaces that facilitate youth’s dialogues.

Facade

The fluid and translucent glass wall façade bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces, and brings Youth Square’s youth activity into the community. Exterior glass walls are finished with frosted raindrop and wave designs, adding an air of mystery to the surrounding landscape.
