Festival Ambassador

The Hon Bernard Charnwut Chan GBM GBS JP

"The Children’s Character Festival offers an important and inclusive addition to learning. Helping our children to develop kindness, respect, perseverance, and other values from a young age does not only build character, but also fosters the next generation of empathetic and responsible citizens. By sharing true stories, children are able to express themselves through their own experiences while gaining the confidence to present them to a supportive audience.

I encourage children to join the Children’s Character Festival and wish all participants the joy of creating their true tales, and every success in presenting them."

Guest of Honour

Ms Lucilla Leung

Former Headmistress,

St Paul’s Co-educational College Primary School

“Gratitude is one of the most important character virtues and is one that can be nurtured and developed from a young age.

I am honoured to be the Guest of Honour for the Children’s Character Festival 2026 on the theme of gratitude, and look forward to seeing students share their stories on who and what they are grateful for.”

True Tales of Gratitude

Create your own true story based on acts of gratitude. You can draw or write about it.

We’d then love to hear you present it at the Children’s Character Festival in March 2026, where you can share your experience in front of an audience and receive comments from an adjudicator about your story and how you tell it.

We hope you’ll join us!
