SHYA learns about inclusive culture in Singapore (with photos)

     The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, and the YDC Youth Ambassadors today (February 18) continued their visit in Singapore. During the day, they went to a number of community facilities to learn about the inclusive culture in Singapore.

     Miss Mak and her team, together with the Vice-Chairman of the Youth Development Commission, Mr Kenneth Leung, and the Youth Ambassadors who are on an exchange in Singapore, paid a visit to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Republic of Singapore this morning. They met with the Chinese Ambassador to Singapore, Ms Sun Haiyan, to learn about the country's development strategy in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Miss Mak and her team also provided Ms Sun with the latest updates on district affairs and youth development in Hong Kong.
 
     They then visited Our Tampines Hub, a community and leisure complex, and learned that it provides a series of facilities on culture, sports, art and retail, etc, to residents and tourists, bringing together people of different backgrounds, races and ages, and expanding community connections and participation. Miss Mak and the Youth Ambassadors visited the Enabling Village in the afternoon to understand how the inclusive community space helps people with special needs to give full play to their capabilities.

     Miss Mak and Mr Leung will attend the Youth Ambassadors' sharing session to know about their learning experience in this exchange activity, and return to Hong Kong tomorrow (February 19).
