The director of the Bosco Youth Service Network’s programme “Free Teen Land”, Dickson Tam Tek Sang, said in a speech yesterday that since its mobile app “GoGoGoal “ launch five years ago, the app had accumulated nearly 3,400 registered users and provided over 20,000 services. However, in response to the constantly evolving needs of society and following an evaluation of the overall service direction and resource integration, the app “GoGoGoal” has recently ceased operating.
Tam made the remarks during a “GoGoGoal Youth Partners Appreciation Ceremony” at the Macau Science Centre (MSC) in Zape, with the aim of commending the merchants who sponsored the mobile app “GoGoGoal” last year, and the 109 “friendly support organisations” that “enthusiastically” backed the Bosco Youth Service Network.
Tam noted that the app users were able to cultivate exercise habits, actively engage in community activities, pursue continuous self-improvement, and enhance environmental awareness by completing various tasks within the app, thereby establishing a healthy lifestyle and distancing themselves from addictive temptations.
Tam pointed out that in addition to the core services consistently promoted by his group, one example was a student microfilm project with a responsible gambling theme, and a microfilm, named NG Life, which premiered in September last year, which aimed to encourage young people to unleash their creativity and promote positive values.
Participants were engaged in the entire process, including scriptwriting, learning shooting techniques, on-site performances, and post-production editing. Through the lens of youths, his group conveyed the message of how to prevent addiction, Tam said.
Meanwhile, prizes for the “GoGoGoal 5th Anniversary Grand Lucky Draw” were also presented at last night’s ceremony.
