Background

We are looking for international individuals in Hong Kong who would like to volunteer during your time abroad, make a social impact and make local and international friends.Through volunteering with us, you will share personal stories and knowledge of your home culture with students. Committed to breaking stereotypes and discrimination; shaping a global society? Join us! You will be working with a team of international people from over 15 nationalities.

What we have

We welcome anyone passionate about sharing their culture to others. Sharers will first attend 2 workshops as trial to assess their suitability. Preparation guidelines will be sent before the workshops. Experienced sharers will be invited to organise their own workshop if they are interested.

Why this is important

Unconscious racial bias, exclusion and discrimination are present in Hong Kong society.Our main goal is to address the lack of equitable global education access in Hong Kong schools due to social inequality and ethnic segregation, and thus contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4 - Quality Education. With an emphasis on SDG #4.7, we work provide education on sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural diversity and its contributions to sustainable development.
