Beat Drugs@Mock Trial 2.0 is a 2-year project funded by Beat Drugs Fund from 2021 to 2023. With the sponsorship, the Project does not only serve secondary school students, but also the young generation from primary schools and tertiary institutions.

Anti-drug education is the core part of this Project. Through Mock Trial Competition and a series of anti-drug education activities, the Project deepens students' understanding of the harm of drugs and related criminal responsibilities, raise students' awareness on the concepts such as rule of law, justice and civic responsibility, so as to strengthen their critical thinking and moral judgment.

“Rule of law” is one of the core values in Hong Kong. As the pillars of the future society, youngsters need to understand the social system and their civil responsibility. Therefore, enhancing their understanding and recognition of concepts such as rule of law, justice and civil responsibility is of paramount importance in order to develop positive values.

Through high interactive Mock Trial Competitions and educational programmes, the young generation can have a deeper understanding on justice and rule of law with an experiential learning model. During Mock Trial Competition, students experience the whole process of trial, roleplaying counsels for prosecution and defense, the accused and witnesses. With different perspectives, students can further explore and discuss on criminal behaviors and related social issues, as well as further reflect the relationship between oneself and the society.

With the support from Beat Drugs Fund, the message of anti-drug will be emphasized along the project years, so that students’ understanding of the harm of drugs and related criminal responsibilities could be deepened.
