RIYADH: A youth-led cultural exchange founded by a 14-year-old student is returning to Riyadh next year.
The Diamond Repurposing Journey program, part of the Superbund Alpha Project founded by student Alia Kong, aims to build bridges between students in Hong Kong, Canada and Saudi Arabia.
The initiative has collaborated with the Saudi Tourism Authority and held strategic meetings with key Saudi stakeholders, including the Al-Hokair Group.
Unlike traditional exchange programs that focus on classroom-based learning or sightseeing, the Superbund initiative introduces what it describes as the “Gen Alpha Connections Exchange,” an immersive virtual experience hosted in the metaverse.
In April 2026, the program will bring Generation Alpha students from Hong Kong and Canada to Riyadh, after having previously hosted exchanges virtually.
