The 2022/23 Equal Opportunities Youth Ambassador Scheme is now open for application. A brand new initiative launched by the EOC, the programme offers a series of experiential activities designed to encourage tertiary students to learn more about the needs and aspirations of diverse communities, and inspire a future generation of leaders committed to promoting equality and inclusion in Hong Kong.

In recognition of World Habitat Day (3 October 2022), the EOC and Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong co-published an article in the South China Morning Post earlier this month, calling for greater inclusivity in the city housing goals, particularly for ethnic minority communities and people with disabilities. 

In a recent interview with A Plus Magazine of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, EOC Chairperson Mr Ricky CHU Man-kin expresses hopes that companies will not roll back their DEI commitments amid post-Covid uncertainty and global economic slowdown, stressing that innovation and growth often come from a diversity of perspectives. 

Organised by the Antiquities and Monuments Office and supported by the EOC, the “Art Unbound, Inclusion Absolute – Heritage for All” Drawing Competition has come to a close. Aimed at encouraging people with disabilities to unleash their creativity by drawing paintings of historic buildings in Hong Kong, the competition attracted 130 entries in total.
