Report Back Session on the 8th Public Health Palliative Care International Conference and Switzerland Study Visit

As our population is aging rapidly, the government has been actively promoting aging in place in the sense that the elderly can live healthily and receive care in their community. More and more elderly people are expected to go through an end of life care journey in community.  In response to this, the sector is actively developing a wide variety of life and death education, and community-based palliative care services. In October of last year, The Council organized a delegation to join the 8th Public Health Palliative Care International Conference and visit related service organizations in Switzerland in order to learn from the experiences of other countries in developing end-of-life agenda in community. To enrich the sector with more experience of developing life and death education and related service at community, our Council is organizing "Report Back Session on the 8th Public Health Palliative Care International Conference and Switzerland Study Visit" on 25th March, 2025, inviting delegates including Dr. Lam Ching-choi, Chief Executive Officer of Haven of Hope Christian Service, Ms. Shirley Wong, Service Supervisor of the Salvation Army and Mr. Norman Kwan, Officer of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service to share insights on the development of palliative ...

Workshop: Effective Data Storytelling in Co-shaping the Social Issues

The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (the Council) has ever committed through research and advocacy to the co-discovery of social needs and the promotion of service and policy development with the sector. In the past years, the Council has organized conferences and workshops related to research and advocacy, aiming to encourage the sector to share relevant frontline experiences, thereby fostering learning and knowledge exchange. In a new era of social media with overloaded information, everyone can construct their own “social reality”, making it difficult for the public to distinguish between truth and falsity. Against this background, it is more than necessary to develop multi-dimensional and cross-sectoral perspective, and together with data and empirical methods, discuss social issues and co-create solutions. The Council will is going to organize a workshop titled “Effective Data Storytelling in Co-shaping the Social Issues,” hoping to nurture this kind of capacity in the sector. Dr Leung Kai-chi who is a public scholar with strong empirical skill and discursive sense in the subject is invited to be a speaker. The workshop will highlight common data fallacies with the examples of past social issues, and introduce how to visualize data and create data story in resonant with ...
