Following the trend from last season, Youth Square will organise the “YS School Cultural Festival 2023” in July and September, with the theme of “Unbox! My 101 SSR-Level Characters”. We believe that every youngster is a unique “SSR (Superior Super Rare) Level” character, possessing their own personalities and exceptional talents. When youngsters are being passionate, they can generate boundless energy, leverage their strengths, and unleash a multitude of potential and vitality.

The Festival will showcase a dynamic range of activities, with the elements of street dance, Esports, anime, cosplay and idol performances. Through various platforms, youngsters can connect and exchange with international experts and teams, be able to actively equip themselves and broaden their horizons, break through traditional frameworks. The Festival will open up a new chapter for the young generation, showcase their diverse potential and positive energy.
