In 2026, SONOVA is honoured to co-organize MTR Corporation’s “‘Train’ for Life’s Journeys 2.0” programme, an innovation-driven initiative designed to equip secondary students with essential future skills.

The programme focuses on youth empowerment, challenging students to tackle two core tracks: Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Social Inclusion. Through the M.O.V.E. online courses and the innovation challenge, students master critical competencies such as Design Thinking, AI technology, and technology ethics. This journey also features experiential activities, including bootcamp, field visits, and mentorship from NGO professionals, social entrepreneurs, and MTR mentors, empowering students to cultivate deep empathy and bold problem-solving mindsets for a better tomorrow.

Programme Framework

The M.O.V.I.N.G. framework has been integrated into this year's programme to deepen student learning across key areas: empathy research, vision, validation, resource linking, persuasive storytelling, and growth.
