A collaborative project focused on responsible gaming and financial literacy has concluded at City University of Macau (CityU), according to a statement from integrated resort operator MGM earlier this week.
The second edition of the “MGM x CityU Responsible Gaming Promotional Project” consisted of two main components. The first was a “Responsible Gaming Campus Ambassador Programme” where over 30 students completed training on topics including gambling disorder prevention, the statement said. The ambassadors then organised community outreach activities.
The second component was a “Healthy Financial Management Promotional Design Competition” open to all university students. The submitted entries were displayed online and received over 110,000 views, according to the statement.
The statement noted that a closing ceremony was held to recognise participants. Officials from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) and CityU attended the event.
MGM Director of Responsible Gaming Tina Wong was quoted in the statement regarding the project’s aim to empower students, emphasising MGM’s belief that the collaboration of “government + enterprises + schools + organisations” will continue to lay a solid foundation for Macau’s sustainability.
Vice Rector of CityU Ip Kuai Peng also provided remarks on the initiative’s outcomes, saying that he “hopes the award-winning projects will continue to evolve, injecting fresh momentum into Macau’s sustainable development.”
