【Media Coverage】Building Bridges: The Role of Social Enterprises in Supporting Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong


We are glad to be interviewed by Sing Tao Daily, where we shared our insights on fostering diversity and inclusion. Our Cultural Ambassadors emphasized the unique challenges faced by individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds in Hong Kong, particularly the barriers to community connection that can arise from language differences and cultural diversity.



To support these communities, one of our initiatives "100 FUN Chinese Class" program, is specifically designed for primary school students from various ethnic backgrounds. Through collaborating with a diverse team of tutors, including both Chinese and non-Chinese educators, we co-create teaching materials that resonate with students' daily lives, enhancing their motivation to learn Chinese.



Additionally, outdoor learning activities were organized to enrich students’ holistic experiences, helping them feel a deeper sense of belonging in their communities and encouraging active participation in various educational and social opportunities. Together with our community tours and multicultural workshops, we aim to foster mutual understanding among individuals from different backgrounds.



To promote social inclusion in the long term and cultivate cultural awareness from a young age, WEDO GLOBAL also partnered with a local school to conduct a program on Multicultural and Global-minded education. This program aims to inspire students to learn how to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds, equip cross-cultural communication skills and enhance the cultural sensitivity of students to achieve inclusion in school.


Through diverse educational activities, we hope to reduce the public's unconscious biases and stereotypes, making our society more open and supportive of diversity and inclusion, allowing everyone to contribute their strengths and thrive within the community.


We celebrate the many initiatives undertaken by other social enterprises. Together, let us amplify our collective impact and drive meaningful changes towards a more inclusive society in Hong Kong.
