The Security Bureau today launched the "Andy & Bear KinderFest" school tour, which will involve workshops being organised in kindergartens to disseminate national security messages and help students to grow into law-abiding citizens with an affection for the country and Hong Kong.

Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung said at the launch ceremony that Andy & Security Bear have received a good response as characters since the launch of national security comics featuring them.

Accompanied by volunteers from the Security Bureau Youth Uniformed Group Leaders Forum, the two characters will visit kindergartens to interact with students. Through storytelling and games, the workshops are designed to teach children basic concepts of national security in a fun and engaging environment.

Together with Under Secretary for Education Sze Chun-fai, Mr Tang appointed some 90 members of the leaders forum as "fest  leaders" and witnessed 30 representatives committing to the mission of national security promotion and education.

Mr Tang and Mr Sze were joined by Permanent Secretary for Security Patrick Li and Under Secretary for Security Michael Cheuk in launching the Andy & Bear KinderFest school tour.

Concluding the ceremony, Mr Tang appealed to the people to cast their votes in the 2025 Legislative Council General Election to be held on December 7.
