UIC held its first Green Youth Power recognition ceremony to award students contributing to environmental protection in three categories: Green Proposal, Green Action and Green Individual Contribution. The ceremony was organised by the Whole Person Education Office (WPEO) and co-organised by the UIC Green Leaders Team.
The Green Proposal is aimed to award students who have developed outstanding projects last year and been recognised by relevant organisations. Seven winners were on the list, including the Bird's Eye View of Zhuhai Board Game, Qi'ao Mangrove Reserve Sightseeing and Conservation, UIC Eco Garden, Bird Watching Competition among Zhuhai Colleges, Masks Disposal Plan, UIC Birds Documentation, and Reduction of Disposable Waste.

The winners were: ENVS Academic Society, promoting refuse sorting; UIC Birdwatching Team, sharing knowledge on bird preservation; UIC Green Bridge Charity Association, focusing on plastic pollution; and the WeChair team, collecting public opinions on environmental protection with recycling material.
