There is a significant increase in Ethnic Minority (EM) population in recent years. Between 2006 and 2016, the population has a 70% increase accounting for 8% of Hong Kong's total population. Among the EM, it is not uncommon that they are born and raised in Hong Kong. Yet they still face difficulties integrating into society, some even end up in family violence, youth gangs, and elderly’s lack of care issues. In view of the multicultural background and the pragmatic needs of Ethnic Minorites, welfare services shoulder important responsibilities. Among the 26,669 Registered Social Workers, there is only 18 EM. Yet the need for these ethnically diverse professionals is keen with the communities’ surging demand for social services.  We must reimagine the multiculturalism in Social Service – Ethnically Diverse Professionals and initiate the Professional Traineeship Programme for the Ethnic Minorities. And the event details are as follows: Reimagine the multiculturalism in Social Service - Ethnically Diverse Professionals   Date: May 12, 2022 (Thursday) Time: 10:00-12:00  Venue: Zoom  Target: Agency members and other interested stakeholders  Guest Speakers:  Mr. Raymond Lai Business Director The Hong Kong Council of Social Service Mr. Ronald LI Chief Programme Officer - China and Hong Kong  The Kadoorie ...

The Council has launched the 3-year "Jockey Club Project IDEAL" funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust since September 2020. Through collaboration with Department of Social Work, The Chinese Univerity of Hong Kong, the project aims to bring out the concept of "Parent Empowerment" and "Transformative Learning Approach" in the sector and larger community. Through the series of Thematic Community Programs delivered by participating NGOs, it is expected the conventional imagination on parent education would be changed. “Jockey Club Project IDEAL” consists of five key elements: Inspiration, Development, Empowerment, Autonomy, and Transformative Learning. By experiencing these five elements, parents could be transformed and empowered in the aspect of parenting practice. The annual theme of this year is "Explore and Empower Parents’ Potential". It is hoped that through the Thematic Community Programs, parents could explore their potential and empower themselves to look for how to accompany with their children to grow up. We are now recruiting interested NGOs to conduct "Thematic Community Programs" in echo with the aforementioned annual theme. Program subsidies would be allocated to eligible programs in order to cover the program expenses. All interested members are cordially invited to attend the briefing session at 2:30 pm via Zoom Platform on December 13, 2021 (Monday). (The briefing will conduct ...
