Fitness Buddies for Inclusion (FBI)

FBI with the Blind is a brand-new training programme in collaboration with Centre of Sports and Exercise (CSE) to train HKU students as fitness buddies in order to conduct tailored physical fitness activities with visually-impaired people from the community, promoting wellness, inclusivity and resilience on campus and in Hong Kong. 

In this programme, students will first undergo fitness training sessions delivered by CSE, attend workshops on communication skills with the blind and learning how to be a sighted guide, before guiding the blind to practice the fitness drills on HKU campus.

Upon successful completion of the programme, students with satisfactory performance will receive an honorarium of HK$1,000, along with other souvenirs and rewards. Committed participants who would like to continue making sustained impact will be nominated for:

• Overseas service-learning opportunities to be held in Jan 2026 (organised by CEDARS)
• Apprentice Scheme (with an honorarium) to organise more initiatives promoting wellness, resilience and inclusivity on campus in Hong Kong (organised by CEDARS)
• Additional Training for selected students to assist as paid part-time student fitness trainers at the completion of the FBI programme (organised by CSE)
• Academic tutoring service for the children of disabled parents (organised by Hong Kong Network for the Promotion of Inclusive Society ((HKNPIS))
• Becoming a Guide Runner (road run/trail walking) with visually impaired people under the Fearless Dragon Team (organised by HKNPIS)
