The Scheme, in commemoration of International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, invited schools to roll out a variety of activities and initiatives that promote racial equality and inclusion on their campuses.

The EOC launched an MTR cabin advertising campaign under the tagline “Open Your Doors to Tenants of All Ethnicities” on 6 July 2023 to promote racial equality in tenancy.
