Since the 2024/25 academic year, the CSI Fund has partnered with Breakthrough to bring the “EMO POWER SPOT” initiative to tertiary campuses across Hong Kong. The project encourages young adults to embrace their emotions and “step out” — to break free from habitual perspectives. Through a range of activities, from interactive exhibitions and school-based exploration to inter-school learning trips, participants learn to shift their viewpoint and reinterpret their current circumstances and inner state. At the same time, they are invited to explore their own personal “Power Spot” in daily life ── building the inner strength to keep moving forward amid uncertainty.

When we feel EMO, we don’t have to force ourselves to become positive right away. Instead, learn to coexist with our emotions and build psychological flexibility. Armed with the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), step out of an EMO state, shift your perspective, and open up to new possibilities in life!
