Hong Kong to host Asian Family Summit next month

Co-organised by the Consortium of Institutes on Family in the Asian Region, the Faculty of Social Sciences of The University of Hong Kong, the Family Council, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and the Social Welfare Department, the Asian Family Summit will take place from 19 – 22 August 2018 at Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre, Centennial Campus, The University of Hong Kong.

Carrying the theme “Sustainable Development & Family Well-Being: Agenda for Action in Asia”, the Summit is an echo to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development and aims to provide a platform for public, private, academic sectors and civil society to map out actionable steps to enhancing the well-being of families in Asia. Topics to be covered by the plenary sessions include poverty, family work balance, family health and harmony, and population ageing.

The Summit will be conducted in English. Simultaneous interpretation in Putonghua is available at sessions in the Grand Hall.
