香港，2021年4月16日 ── 友邦慈善基金宣佈推出網上活動平台「友邦慈善基金網上健康樂園」（ AIAF-wellness.org），免費提供150多個富趣味又具學術性的工作坊、重量級嘉賓主講的定期親子講座或活動，以及益智刺激的網上遊戲，讓兒童及家長可以在足不出戶的情況下充實自己之餘，亦可透過參與富有特色的活動，保持積極正面的心態，讓身心靈更健康。
「友邦慈善基金網上健康樂園」設有三大部分：「工作坊」（Workshops）由多位名師主理，每星期更新內容，涵蓋趣味學習、發展個人素養及提升身心健康各個範疇，如中文創作坊、STEM、唱歌、社交禮儀、武術及手工等；「活動區」（Events）邀請了多位重量級嘉賓於每月帶來親子講座，包括親子遊戲愛連繫協會主席及總督導周婉芬博士、家庭發展基金總幹事羅乃萱女士、財商教育學院課程及培訓總監關顯彬校長，以及香港有品運動發起人及機構總監凌葉麗嬋女士。而於母親節及父親節當天，更邀請到著名樂隊DisCover舉行網上互動音樂會，接受兒童點唱，讓他們向父母表達愛意；「遊戲區」（Games）設有宣揚健康訊息的網上遊戲，為兒童提供既精彩刺激又有益身心的闖關挑戰活動，多個不同網上遊戲將陸續推出。兒童只要在「友邦慈善基金網上健康樂園」（ AIAF-wellness.org）作簡單登記，便可免費參與「工作坊」及「遊戲區」，而專為家長及大眾而設的「活動區」則毋須登記。
「友邦慈善基金網上健康樂園」是由友邦慈善基金冠名贊助，並由一口田慈善教育基金設計﹑提供及管理運作，預期年內可為超過3,000名兒童及其家庭帶來定期及有趣的網上活動，支援兒童、青少年及家長的身心靈健康。
友邦香港及澳門首席執行官兼友邦慈善基金董事馮偉昌先生表示：「友邦慈善基金致力推動社會及經濟發展，並重點栽培兒童及年青人，我們去年成立一億美元的『友邦獎學金』及20多年來舉辦『青年領袖培訓獎勵計劃』，積極為社會培育更健康和更具生產力的人才資源出一分力。去年香港經歷了富挑戰性的一年，學生出外玩樂或參加課外活動的機會大大減少，對其身心健康有一定影響。為此，我們特別冠名贊助推出『友邦慈善基金網上健康樂園』，除了讓兒童投入數碼科技，寓學習於娛樂，同時亦為家長帶來親子講座和網上音樂會，幫助大眾在新常態下繼續活出『健康長久好生活』。」
根據聯合國《兒童權利公約》（1989）第31條，兒童擁有享受休息和閒暇、進行與年齡相宜的遊戲和娛樂活動，以及自由參加文化和藝術活動的權利。在2011年，美國兒科學會指出，失去自由遊戲時間的兒童更易患上抑鬱症及焦慮症，建議給予兒童每日最少一小時的自由遊戲時間。「友邦慈善基金網上健康樂園」針對這些建議，設有「工作坊」（Workshops）、「遊戲區」（Games）及「活動區」（Events）三大部分，積極回應本港兒童及家長的需要。

There are three main sections in “AIA Foundation Online Wellness Playground”: “Workshops” that provides fun learning, personality development and well-being enhancement, hosted by renowned instructors, covering a vast spectrum of topics that will be updated weekly, including Chinese creative writing, STEM, singing, social etiquette, martial arts, and handicrafts, etc.; “Events” will feature monthly parenting talks hosted by distinguished speakers including Dr. Iris Chau, Chairperson and Chief Clinical Supervisor of Child Parent Relationship Therapy Association of Hong Kong, Ms Shirley Loo, Secretary-General of the Family Development Foundation, Principal Johnny Kwan, Curriculum and Training Director of FQ Education Academy, and Mrs. Josephine Ling, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Character City Movement. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, renowned band DisCover will host an online interactive concert, taking song requests from children to dedicate their love to their parents; “Games” offers online games that promote healthy messages, providing fun and challenging tasks for children. More games will be launched in due course. Children can participate in “Workshops” and “Games” by registering on “AIA Foundation Online Wellness Playground” (AIAF-wellness.org) while no registration is required for “Events”, which is dedicated for parents and the public.
Title sponsored by AIA Foundation while designed, provided and managed by Seedland Educational Charitable Foundation, “AIA Foundation Online Wellness Playground” is expected to provide regular and interesting online activities for over 3,000 children and their family in support of their physical and mental well-being.
Mr. Alger Fung, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Hong Kong & Macau and Director of AIA Foundation, said, “AIA Foundation is committed to driving social and economic development and nurturing our children and young people. With the aim to cultivate a healthier and more productive future human capital for the society, we established the US$100 million AIA Scholarships last year, in addition to running the Young Leaders Development Programme for more than two decades. Year 2020 was a challenging year with students being restricted from enjoying free play time outdoor and attending extracurricular activities, which in turn have affected their physical and mental well-being. On this account, we are motivated to title sponsor ‘AIA Foundation Online Wellness Playground’. We aim to encourage children to learn via play and parents to enjoy parenting talks and online concerts by utilising digital technology, hence helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives in the new normal.”
According to Article 31, Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) of the United Nations, a child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts. In 2011, a research by the American Academy of Paediatrics pointed out that children who lose time to play freely are more prone to depression and anxiety disorder, thus suggested to provide at least one hour of free play time a day for children. In response to these suggestions, “AIA Foundation Online Wellness Playground” offers “Workshops”, “Games” and “Events” to proactively meet the needs of children and parents in Hong Kong.
