The Control of Obscene & Indecent Articles Ordinance (COIAO) is legislated to protect youths under 18 years old from accessing obscene and indecent materials (mainly publications). The Television & Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA) who is responsible for implementation had designated an educational program fund to work in partnership with concerned parties and groups in introducing the Ordinance to the community.

HKCS applied for the fund and succeeded in getting sponsorship to launch Stand Up Show & Talk Tour to 15 primary schools (during October and November 2004). The Children's Forum took place in December as the finale to the program.

The program was specially targeted for primary 4 to 6 students who were at their developmental stage. They were very curious in terms of sexual and physical appeal and are easily influenced by the media on formatting concepts and values. It was helpful and significant for them to know about the Ordinance. The ultimate goal of our program was to cultivate a critical mind, analytical thinking and self- monitoring abilities. It was well received by the students, teachers and our sponsor.
