CYC selects outstanding members annually from each district who have excelled in the "Member Merits Award Scheme" to participate in the OMV, which enables them to broaden their horizons via cultural exchange and experiential learning .
Since 1980, the OMV has provided many outstanding members with the chances of overseas exchange. The quota was very limited at the early stage and gradually increased with the development of the CYC. At present, two secondary students and two primary students in each of the 18 districts can join the OMV. The visited places include Singapore, Japan, England, Canada, Malaysia, China, the United States and Korea, etc.
Primary members: Those who have obtained Primary School Level 1 (Pastel Green Badge) or above endorsed by the CYC Office.
Secondary members: Those who have obtained Secondary School Level 3 (Purple Badge) or above endorsed by the CYC Office.
All candidates should be recommended by their school heads.
Each district executive committee arranges interviews for the first round selection. Selected candidates will be recommended for the CYC office's consideration. All selected members should take a series of pre-trip training courses and complete and present a group report after the visit.
