Hong Kong society has shown a growing awareness of different ethnicities and cultures. The increasing population and the growing role of the ethnic minority community have observed a turning point for policy and practices in creating a more inclusive and diverse society. While all members of the public are key enablers of society inclusion and diversity, the ethnic minority community’s voices are especially pertinent.
To develop a systematic tool for tracking local social development and overall assessment of needs in social inclusion and diversity, the Council initiates the construction of a Hong Kong inclusion and Diversity (HKiD) Index for the advocacy of a socially inclusive society. It is important to engage the ethnic minorities as well as stakeholders’ working, for the cause of consolidating their experiences on the ways that ethnic minorities are socially included in their everyday life.
Therefore, an engagement activity titled Count Us In: Deliberation Day for Social Inclusion are organized for ethnic minorities and professionals from different sectors who are concerned with ethnic minorities’ issues in a participatory discussion on the factors and life domains concerning social inclusion and diversity of Hong Kong. Participants are welcome to share their experiences and barriers to inclusion. The details and tentative rundown of the said event are listed as below.
