World Cup Fever Returns: Learning Emotional Management on the Pitch

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 June 2026 – The four-yearly World Cup is in full swing, and the football fever once again sweeps the globe. The pitch has long been known as a “proving ground” for heroes; even for world-class players with years of experience, the joy of scoring a goal is often balanced by the sight of others in tears, frustrated by a defeat. The prowess of these players will be etched into the hearts of countless children, inspiring a lifelong love for the sport.

In the Play to Thrive programme, winning or losing isn't what matters; what's more important is building children's resilience.

Save the Children Hong Kong firmly believes that the football pitch is more than just a venue for competition—it is an ideal classroom for Social-emotional Learning. For eight-year-old Kai-long, the setbacks and failures experienced on the pitch have proven far more vital to his personal growth than mastering technical skills or perfecting “step-overs”.

The Play to Thrive programme empowers children to master emotional management and communication skills while staying active in sports. Compared to a “Zidane turn”, these are the skills that will truly serve them for a lifetime.

On the training ground, eight-year-old Kai-long’s skills are clearly “a cut above the rest”. From the way he carries the ball to the power of his strikes, he already carries himself like a mini professional. During internal matches, he frequently finds the back of the net, scoring multiple goals for his side.

However, the moments that truly bring a smile of approval to the coaches and teachers are not Kai-long’s technical displays, but his small yet heart-warming gestures. For instance, he is seen helping teammates by steadying the inflatable goalposts during shooting drills. Even when knocked down during a match, if the coach does not blow for a foul, Kai-long doesn’t complain; he simply brushes it off with a smile and gets straight back to chasing the ball.

When Excellence Becomes a Burden: Children Trapped by the Need to Win

“He has a personality that tends to be quite fixated on winning and losing. Because of his own performance, or because his classmates’ performance didn’t meet his expectations, he would sometimes experience emotional ups and downs,” explains Mr. Lui, the PE teacher. He admits that while Kai-long’s football skills are outstanding, his stubborn nature previously caused friction with teammates and classmates. Mr. Lui noted that since Kai-long was already a member of the school’s reserve team, he recommended him for the Play to Thrive programme not to “learn football”, but in the hope that he would learn how to get along with others.

Consequently, what moved Mr. Lui the most was not Kai-long’s “goal-scoring show”, but his reaction during a match when other students deliberately moved the inflatable goalposts. Instead of complaining or losing his temper as he might have done in the past, Kai-long continued to play with a smile on his face. “Previously, he might have called it unfair or had an emotional outburst, but today he didn’t complain; he even found it quite funny. He is no longer fixated on winning or losing.”

In the eyes of his father, Chung, Kai-long has been a child with extremely high expectations of himself and a drive for perfection since he was young. “Whether it is schoolwork or his behaviour, he hopes to be a good role model and be very well-behaved.” However, Chung also mentioned that this perfectionist streak serves as a source of pressure for Kai-long.

Interpersonal Skills Are More Important Than Footballing Ability

Chung admits that Kai-long used to be very fixated on winning and losing: “In the past, if he lost a game of football against his elder brother, he would be resentful; when he was younger, he even tried to hit him.” While it is natural to crave goals and seek victory on the pitch, Chung also believes that how one treats others and interacts with peers is a vital part of growing up, which is why he enrolled Kai-long in Play to Thrive.

“Football is a natural educational tool,” says Ms. Wong Shek Hung, Director of Hong Kong Programmes at Save the Children Hong Kong. She explains that experiencing victory, defeat, and frustration is inevitable in sports, providing the perfect opportunity for children to learn emotional management. She adds that Play to Thrive originated from a community football programme developed by Save the Children UK for children in Jordan and Indonesia.

The core of the programme lies in integrating Social-emotional Learning into football training to help children build five core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Furthermore, the programme is open to all children regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background, allowing them to master self-awareness, emotional regulation, and team communication skills within a diverse and inclusive environment.

No Ordinary Football Training

As this is unlike conventional football training, every coach is required to undergo professional training covering “Child Safeguarding” and emotional support knowledge. Ms. Wong Shek Hung notes that during the “debriefing” session at the end of each practice, coaches guide the children to reflect on their experiences on the pitch, attempting to translate these moments into emotional literacy. The ultimate goal is “to let children learn how to become ‘masters of their own emotions’.”

Demonstrating Personal Growth and Cultivating Leadership Skills

Mr. Lui noticed that after joining the programme, Kai-long not only showed progress in his personal emotional management but also learned how to consider things from others’ perspectives. During PE lessons, Kai-long has become more willing to take the initiative to help his classmates and has learned to accept teammates with different abilities, even proactively coaching others. “He gets along with his classmates much more harmoniously now; the barriers that existed before have disappeared,” Mr. Lui remarked. He further revealed that Kai-long’s form teacher, having observed this growth, officially appointed him as a class monitor for the second term.

His father, Chung, observed that since joining the programme, Kai-long has demonstrated a level of resilience rarely seen before. He recalled a match where Kai-long served as both captain and goalkeeper; even when facing conceded goals and falling behind, “his first instinct wasn’t to feel discouraged, but rather to keep encouraging his teammates from the back to keep running and keep attacking.”

Ms. Wong Shek Hung reaffirmed that this is precisely the philosophy of Play to Thrive: “We emphasise ‘Football Second, Growth First’, ensuring that even if children lose a match, they learn to handle their emotions, communicate, and cooperate throughout the process.”

Building Resilience: Transforming Lives Through Football

Ms. Kalina Tsang, CEO of Save the Children Hong Kong, stated that she has always believed football is a powerful tool for building resilience in children: “We have always been concerned about children’s physical and mental well-being. Football is more than just a sport; beyond honing technical skills, it can be used to build a child’s resilience. By combining football training with Social-emotional Learning, and under the guidance of professionally trained coaches, Play to Thrive ensures that the sweat shed by children on the pitch is transformed into self-awareness and emotional management skills.” Ms. Tsang also noted that Kai-long’s growth perfectly embodies the programme’s success. She said, “We are deeply gratified to see Kai-long progress from initial emotional fluctuations to confidently cooperating with teammates and facing victory or defeat positively—improving both on a personal level and in his interactions with peers.”

As for Kai-long himself, it is difficult for an eight-year-old to describe his transformation in detail. But when asked what was different about him, he said with an innocent smile, “I used to blame my teammates for not passing the ball, but now I’ve learned not to. I tell them: ‘It’s okay, pass it again next time. We’ll win the ball back together.'”

Launched in Hong Kong in 2023, the Play to Thrive programme is a service that integrates Social-emotional Learning with football training. It aims to create a safe and supportive space for schoolchildren, promoting their physical, social, and mental health through sport. The programme currently operates across various districts in Hong Kong, including community teams in areas such as Sham Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai. The school-based project collaborates with over 30 primary schools across the territory, integrating football training into school life to help students recognise and manage their emotions, build healthy interpersonal relationships, and enhance their confidence and resilience. In response to the current situation where up to 39% of primary and secondary students in Hong Kong face mental health challenges, the programme places special emphasis on SEL to help children master effective communication and emotional management both on and off the pitch.

In 2025 alone, the community and school projects of Play to Thrive held a total of 744 training sessions, with total service hours exceeding 1,000 hours. The programme reached 1,120 children and their families across Hong Kong, establishing close partnerships with 32 schools and 4 non-profit organisations. In terms of impact assessment, participant satisfaction was high, with satisfaction rates for the community and school projects reaching 80% and 75%, respectively.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – As sustainability requirements and operational performance expectations evolve, building performance modelling is becoming increasingly important across Australia’s construction sector. Afogreen Build, an Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD) consultancy, has observed growing demand for integrated modelling approaches that help architects and building owners evaluate factors like energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability outcomes.

Afogreen Build

Building Performance Modelling as a Strategic Tool
Integrated modelling uses computer-based simulations to predict how a building will perform even before it is constructed. By analysing factors such as energy consumption, indoor comfort, daylight access, airflow, and operational efficiency, it helps project teams understand how design decisions may affect a building’s long-term performance.

Traditionally, this approach has been used to support compliance with building regulations and sustainability certification frameworks. However, its role is expanding as project teams increasingly seek data-driven insights during the design process.

One factor contributing to this trend is the growing focus on measurable operational outcomes. Frameworks such as NABERS Commitment Agreements and Section J Performance Solutions require project teams to demonstrate expected building performance before construction begins. As a result, modelling is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for evaluating whether design targets can realistically be achieved.

The approach is already widely adopted across Australia’s construction sector. Research indicates that approximately 90% of new residential developments and 85% of non-office commercial projects now incorporate building performance modelling. At the same time, around 53% of standard projects and 49% of premium projects are using modelling primarily for compliance-based assessments.

“Modelling is increasingly viewed not just as a compliance requirement, but as a practical tool for evaluating whether design targets can realistically be achieved,” shared Erika Yuniarti, Managing Director of Afogreen Build.

Integrated Modelling Provides a Broader View of Building Performance
Many project teams are also moving beyond assessments that focus on a single performance metric.

Integrated modelling evaluates multiple aspects of building performance together, including:

  • Energy use
  • Thermal comfort
  • Daylight access
  • Ventilation
  • Occupant experience

This approach allows stakeholders to better understand how different building systems and design decisions interact with one another.

By identifying potential issues earlier in the design process, project teams can make more informed decisions before significant design resources are committed. This can help reduce design revisions, improve overall efficiency, and provide greater confidence that performance objectives can be achieved once the building is operational.

Applications Across Multiple Sectors
The growing adoption of building performance modelling can be seen across a variety of project types. Recent projects undertaken by Afogreen Build highlight how simulation-based assessments are helping project teams evaluate performance, improve design outcomes, and support sustainability objectives.

a. Large-Scale Hotel Development
One project involved the transformation of a former police station site into a two-tower hotel complex with a gross floor area of approximately 25,000 sqm. The development combines a 131-room boutique luxury lifestyle hotel with a 451-room budget-friendly hotel, creating a diverse hospitality offering designed to serve different traveller segments.

To support both guest comfort and sustainability objectives, Afogreen Build conducted integrated daylight, glare, and energy modelling throughout the project. Daylight simulations showed that approximately 94% of guest rooms met daylight performance requirements, while glare assessments helped optimise visual comfort within occupied spaces.

Energy modelling indicated an overall reduction in energy consumption of 30.2% compared to baseline building performance. The analysis also identified key areas of energy use, providing valuable insights that can support future operational and system optimisation efforts.

b. Train Station Project
For a train station project, Afogreen Build adopted an integrated modelling approach to evaluate factors such as daylight access, thermal comfort, glare, and natural ventilation across key passenger areas, including the concourse and platforms.

The simulations helped project stakeholders better understand how environmental conditions would affect the passenger experience throughout the day. Findings from the study informed façade design strategies, balancing natural daylight with measures to reduce excessive glare and solar heat gain in occupied spaces.

The assessments also identified opportunities to improve thermal comfort and air movement within the station, supporting a more comfortable environment for commuters while maintaining energy-efficient design principles.

c. High-Performance Data Centre
Afogreen Build also applied building performance modelling to a 50 MW data centre project, where energy efficiency was a key design consideration.

The study evaluated the interaction between IT equipment, cooling systems, power distribution infrastructure, and other supporting building systems. By analysing how these components work together under operational conditions, the project team was able to gain a clearer understanding of the facility’s overall energy performance and identify opportunities for optimisation.

The modelling contributed to an optimised Category 2 Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) range of 1.19 to 1.31, reflecting a highly efficient approach to managing energy consumption within a large-scale, energy-intensive facility.

Together, these projects demonstrate how building performance modelling can be applied across diverse sectors, each with its own operational requirements and performance priorities.

The Future of Performance-Driven Design
As sustainability frameworks and performance expectations continue to evolve, Afogreen Build expects modelling to become an increasingly important part of project planning and design across a wide range of sectors.

“There is increasing emphasis on understanding how buildings are likely to perform before they are built, rather than waiting until they are operational to identify challenges,” said Ms. Erika. “The ability to evaluate performance early in the design process is becoming increasingly valuable as projects face more complex sustainability and operational requirements. The team should work closely with project stakeholders to establish realistic assumptions and evaluate likely performance outcomes from the outset. This process helps reduce unnecessary design iterations, improve modelling efficiency, and increase the likelihood of achieving targeted performance objectives. By integrating performance considerations earlier in the design process, project teams are better positioned to deliver buildings that meet both compliance requirements and long-term operational goals.”

Spacebiz in Hong Kong – a golden opportunity for Professional Services and STEM

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – Space Economy Association (Hong Kong) Ltd, or “SEA”, officially formed in the midst of the space economy boom. It is an independent membership-based non-government organisation dedicated to connecting and facilitating space-related industries, businesses, investors, educators, experts, and governments worldwide in their pursuit for businesses and technology in commercial space. SEA helps establish Hong Kong as a super-connector hub in the international space ecosystem by capitalising on our professional services, led by finance.

The new renaissance is in the space economy. The US$630 billion global space economy is set to triple to US$1.8 trillion[1] by 2035. With launch costs dropping 10-fold in the last 20 years, private and public sectors will soar with all humanity set to benefit. Space economy is ubiquitous and creating value beyond rocketry and satellites, everyone will flourish as the space economy grows 9% per annum. China is the world’s second largest player in space, highlighting it as one of the four emerging strategic industries in its 15th National Five-Year Plan. Its commercial space sector has already launched 81 rockets and 336 satellites into orbit, with over 100 space start-ups and companies raising around US$6.5 billion. Hong Kong, as a key international financial centre practicing Common Law with international arbitration system and robust insurance, data and intellectual property protection capabilities, uniquely stands to serve China and other countries to pursue capital, business, technology and talent in commercial space.

“From Hong Kong’s perspective, the NewSpace economy is not simply about rockets or satellites; it is about the commercial possibilities they create for our professional services community. As the nation advances its aerospace ambitions, Hong Kong’s strengths in finance, insurance, law and related fields equip the city to support activities ranging from project financing and initial public offerings to risk management and crossborder transactions. Our bankers, insurers, accountants and lawyers are ideally positioned to help turn space initiatives into viable enterprises — and to participate directly in the value they generate.” said the Honourable Bernard Charnwut Chan, GBM, GBS, JP. Patron of SEA.

“Hong Kong’s top-class professional services would facilitate the processes from research and innovation to startup, scale-up and successful space business. Besides a hub for IPOs, Hong Kong offers funding from seed and angel, to private equity, venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, in debt, equity, and lease financing. This space economy would contribute plentiful job and business opportunities to become a key pillar of Hong Kong in terms of economy and quality opportunities for our young generation,” said Professor Richard Leung, Chairman of SEA. “SEA’s global network of partners grows beyond Asia, North America and Europe to include the UNOOSA ecosystem. SEA is a platform that empowers astropreneurs to launch towards humanity’s collective space dream.”

SEA is governed by a Board of 19 members and supported by nine committees. SEA is also strongly supported by a Patron and five Fellows who share the vision to position Hong Kong as a leading hub in the international space economy.

HEFEI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2026 – On June 23, the realist drama Zhong Mo Yuan premiered in the prime-time slot on mainstream television in China. Centered on Xuan paper-making techniques, an element of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, the series uses this centuries-old craft as a narrative thread, presenting its continuity and renewal in contemporary life through a visual storytelling approach.

The Four Treasures of the Study—brush, ink, paper, and inkstone—are an essential part of China’s traditional writing culture. Among them, Xuan paper serves as a key material medium, long used in calligraphy and Chinese painting. Unlike the static presentation typical of traditional craft-themed works, this drama transforms Xuan paper from a “craft object” into a “narrative vehicle,” allowing complex processes such as papermaking, sheet lifting, drying, and cutting to naturally unfold within character-driven stories and everyday settings. In doing so, audiences are able to perceive the tangible warmth and contemporary expression of an intangible cultural heritage practice as the plot progresses.

From a Single Sheet of Paper, a Broader Way of Eastern Living Comes Into View

Xuan paper is not merely a material; it represents a centuries-old Eastern way of writing and cultural expression. Starting from this point, the series extends its perspective into a broader cultural context: the relationship between people and craftsmanship, the dialogue between tradition and modernity, and the evolving pathways through which manual skills persist within today’s industrial landscape.

In its narrative approach, the work brings together interactions between a younger generation and master artisans, making “inheritance” no longer an abstract concept, but a series of real choices and actions. In this way, intangible cultural heritage enters contemporary discourse in a more immersive and relatable form.

Bringing Intangible Cultural Heritage to the World Is Not Only About the Work Itself

In recent years, Chinese intangible cultural heritage represented by Xuan paper has been increasingly entering the global field of vision through multiple channels.

On one hand, through state-level media and international communication platforms, content related to intangible cultural heritage continues to be integrated into multilingual dissemination systems, building broader baseline awareness. On the other hand, with the development of streaming media and digital platforms, more and more film and television works rooted in traditional Chinese culture are reaching overseas audiences in lighter, more visually driven formats.

From Visual Narrative to Lived Experience: Intangible Cultural Heritage Is Forming New Communication Pathways

The significance of Zhong Mo Yuan lies not only in telling a story about Xuan paper, but also in its alignment with current trends in intangible cultural heritage communication: culture is no longer simply displayed—it is experienced, understood, and re-created.

Alongside the dissemination and circulation of related visual content, Jing County in Anhui Province, a key origin of Xuan paper culture, has gradually entered the view of international cultural and artistic audiences. Relying on its well-preserved natural ecological environment, traditional handmade papermaking system, and continuously living cultural transmission, the region has been steadily improving a hybrid spatial structure that integrates heritage exhibition, craft experience, and cultural participation. This allows traditional craftsmanship to sustain its vitality through contemporary expression. When visual narratives connect with real-world sites and cultural spaces, intangible cultural heritage is no longer confined to museum-style presentation, but increasingly becomes a cultural resource that can enter everyday life and international exchange contexts.

Conclusion: A World Expressed Through a Single Sheet of Paper

Starting from a single sheet of Xuan paper, traditional Chinese craftsmanship is being seen, understood, and gradually integrated into a broader global cultural communication system in a more contemporary form.

Within this context, Zhong Mo Yuan offers a more expressive visual approach to intangible cultural heritage, allowing the world to perceive the finer layers and textures of Chinese culture through the story of a single sheet of paper.
