I rarely come across topics on diversity and inclusion and it is my first time visiting these two places. It was a very special and unique experience.

Even though I am also a member of the ethnic minorities, I don't really know much about them. This activity offered me a better understanding of the historic stories of ethnic minorities in Hong Kong through tasks.
Student,
Heung To Middle School
I learned more about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong and inspired me to be more accepting of different races.
Student, HKUGA College
The part that impressed me the most was trying on the headscarf, as it allowed me to personally experience the culture of ethnic minorities.
