EOC to promote diversity and inclusion among youth with experiential activities

The EOC’s youth programme “Generation i”, with “i” standing for inclusion, is returning in the 2019-20 school year as a brand new award scheme for secondary students. Designed as a series of experiential activities, it aims to encourage the younger generation to show greater empathy to different communities and contribute to the creation of a discrimination-free society.

Supported by the Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women, Wheel Power Challenge, Hong Kong Guide Dogs Association and HKSKH Lady MacLehose Centre, the programme features workshops about sexual harassment, tours showcasing the vibrant ethnic minority cultures in our city, as well as experiential events that reveal the challenges facing wheelchair users and persons with visual impairment.

Participants will be given an “i-Badge” for every completed activity. Schools with the most badges will be awarded certificates and book coupons valued as high as HK$5,000.

The programme is open for applications from now until 24 October 2019 (Thursday). For enquiries, please contact the EOC at 2511 8211 or generationi@eoc.org.hk.
