Inclusion in Action: Joint-U Community Hunt X Inclusive Carnival

APPLICATION STARTS!

Are you looking for opportunities to meet new buddies from other schools? Would you dare to accept the challenge of completing a community hunt and various experiential activities with different service targets? Or just take the time to relax and chill before your hectic exams? You shouldn’t miss this programme if your answers are yes!

As a diversified city, Hong Kong has people from all walks of life with different backgrounds, identities and experience, but some of them are being looked down upon due to the inaccurate perceptions and information disseminated in the society. Therefore, the Alliance of University & College YMCAs is organising the mass programme “Inclusion in Action: Joint-U Community Hunt X Inclusive Carnival” on 5 November 2022 (Sat), encouraging participants to appreciate and respect each other to embrace the concept of community inclusion. Participants will team up with our service targets - ethnic minority youth, the visually impaired and the golden-aged to finish tasks at local iconic places during the Community Hunt and take part in various experiential activities and workshops with them in the Inclusive Carnival!

Don’t miss this ample chance to be more familiar with other groups in the society and lead to a more inclusive community! Sign up now with two other friends to enjoy the discounted programme fee! We’re waiting for you!
