The theme this year is....
Prove Your Promise
Environmental destruction, poverty, inequality, and climate change continue to challenge our world. Awareness is no longer enough, and neither are promises without action. Last year, we challenged young changemakers to Accelerate Your Action. This year, we take the next step: Prove Your Promise. It is a call to move beyond good intentions, take ownership of our commitments, and demonstrate that our actions can create meaningful, lasting change.
Through interactive workshops, inspiring speakers, and collaborative discussions, participants will explore what it truly means to turn promises into impact. From leading student initiatives and building partnerships with NGOs to exploring social entrepreneurship and purpose-driven careers, the Summit will equip young leaders with the skills, connections, and motivation to make a difference. Participants will be challenged not only to consider what they want to achieve, but also how they will follow through and demonstrate their impact.
Prove Your Promise is more than a theme—it is a commitment to ourselves, our communities, and our future. It challenges us to reflect on our values, take responsibility for our choices, and recognize that creating a better world is not defined by a single action, but by the decisions we make throughout our lives. By bringing together passionate students, educators, and organizations, the 2027 HK SDG Summit aims to inspire a generation of changemakers who don't just promise a better future—they actively work to make it a reality.

LEARN.
CONNECT.
ACT.
Every story has the power to inspire change. But how can we turn inspiration into meaningful action?
Following its successful debut at last year's HK SDG Summit, the Docathon Film Festival returns in 2027, in partnership with Docathon and MAD Courses, to celebrate the power of youth storytelling and its potential to create real-world impact.
Docathon empowers students in Grades 6–12 to become documentary filmmakers, providing training and mentorship to help them tell compelling stories about important issues, inspiring changemakers, and community initiatives. Their short documentaries are shared through national and international Docathons and Student Film Exchanges, giving young voices a platform to raise awareness, spark conversations, and inspire action.
More than just a film screening, the Docathon Film Festival offers an interactive experience where participants can watch powerful student-created documentaries, engage with young filmmakers, ask questions, and explore how storytelling can challenge perspectives and motivate positive change.
Aligned with this year's Summit theme, Prove Your Promise, the festival challenges us to look beyond the stories we watch and consider the actions we can take. After all, a powerful story can inspire change, but it is what we do next that truly makes a difference.
Join us to discover how young filmmakers are using their voices, creativity, and passion to turn stories into impact.
