Volunteers and EM teenagers writing their ideas on a piece of paper together

The Connect ACE teamed up with volunteers to empower a group of female adolescence from diverse ethnic backgrounds and strengthen their sense of belonging through interactive games, cultural exchange activities and an outing.

In this program, not only volunteers shared the stories on Hong Kong landmarks with the girls, but the girls also prepared some South Asian cuisine and shared with the volunteers. Through celebrating cultural diversity, the girls discovered their self-identity and the volunteers gained a better understanding on the lives of ethnic minority groups living in Hong Kong.
