Children's Commission 
兒童論壇

On 27th December, Unison and a group of ethnic minority youths have joined a Children’s Forum organized by the The Hong Kong Committee on Children’s Rights, and meet the newly elected district councilors (DCs) from various districts to discuss the issues that are concerning the children. In this exchange platform, not only the problems which ethnic minorities are facing, like the under-representation and discrimination , have been raised, but also the plans and thoughts of the DCs in dealing with it have also been shared. We look forward to have further collaborations with the DCs in the coming terms!

12月27日，融樂會與一班少數族裔青年參與了由香港兒童權利委員會舉辦的兒童論壇。會上一班兒童與候任區議員討論了不同的社區議題，包括少數族裔遇到的歧視、及在社區及制度上被忽略的議題，候任區議員亦分享了他們對這些問題的看法及計劃。我們期待在新一年繼續與區議員合作！
 

Unison talk 
融樂會講座

On 28th November, Unison had organized the last Unison talk in this year. This time we have rearranged the seats into a big circle. The new format had successfully sparked off a lot of discussions between the participants. We are glad to see that happening since it means that our participants are not only receiving information but also reflecting the the content they have learnt. 

融樂會在十一月底舉辦了本年最後一場融樂會講座。這次我們嘗試了一個小改動：將座位排成一個大圓圈。新的改動成功引發了參與者不同的討論，融樂會樂見其成，因為討論正好象徵我們的參與者不止於單向地接收知識，而且更進一步思考所接收的資訊。

Outreach and Home visits 
外展和家訪

In November, Unison did one outreach at the primary school and a park in Sham Shui Po district and four home visits for home tutor matching on Chinese subject for ethnic minority children living in Yau Ma Tei and Shatin areas. The primary and secondary level students studying in various Chinese and English medium schools without much support on Chinese were provided with the Chinese volunteer tutors. 

融樂會在十一月在深水埗區的小學與公園進行了一次外展，另外亦在油尖旺及沙田區進行四次家訪，為少數族裔學生配對中文科導師。那些欠缺中文支援的中小學少數族裔學生都獲配中文科義務導師。

Scholarship camp

融樂會獎學金宿營

On 21st and 22nd December, Unison organised an overnight camp for the scholarship awardees at the Lady Maclehose Holiday Village in Sai Kung. The awardees bonded over fun activities, games and late night stories and impromptu games. At the camp we had an interactive street law session on Human Rights with emphasis on right to education under United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child (UNCRC). This is the first session in a series of 4 sessions planned for the scholarship year. The awardees found the format refreshing and are eager for the other sessions. The sessions are planned and executed by Ms. Lindsay Ernest (The department of Law, Centre for Comparative and Public Law, HKU) and lawyers from Mayer Brown.

在十二月廿一、廿二日，融樂會於西貢麥理浩夫人度假村為融樂會獎學金得主組織了一次宿營。經過各個活動、夜談和即興遊戲，各位獎學金得主都加深了情誼。值得一提的是，我們在宿營中舉辦了一個人權工作坊，聚焦探討聯合國《兒童權利公約》中的教育權利。雖然此工作坊只是整個獎學金年度四步曲的首步，不過經此一步，獎學金得主們對剩餘三次工作坊都極感雀躍，引頸以待。融樂會在此亦感謝香港大學法律學院Lindsay Ernest教授及Mayer Brown的兩位律師主辦是次環節。

 

Annual planning

年度回顧

On 10th and 16th December Unison staffs evaluated our work of 2019 and planned for 2020. With creative ideas and strong determination we are all set to strive for racial equality and equal opportunities for ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. 

融樂會團隊分別在十二月的十號及十六號進行年度回顧及來年規劃。我們已經下定決心、準備好各種創新點子，在來年繼續為種族平等、及本港少數族裔的平等機會奮鬥了！

 

School talks, JUPAS consultation and Identity exploration workshop
學校講座、聯招顧問及身份探索

On 25 & 27 November we engaged Unison awardees as consultants for F6 students of Delia Gleepath for JUPAS choices. This is one of the very crucial time for F6 students where they contemplate their career options and think about university programs. The F6 students found Unison awardees' advice helpful and enlightening. In the previous month we conducted 4 school talks for F1, F5 and F6 students. The topics were Exploring Identity and HK citizenship, Importance of Chinese learning and Mock Interview workshops. In total we catered to a combined number of 250 students.  We had a total of 16 Unison awardees who facilitated the talks.    

融樂會在十一月廿五和廿七號邀請了十六位融樂會獎學金得主，擔任地利亞修女紀念學校（吉利徑）應屆中學文憑試考生的大學聯招 (JUPAS)顧問。對中六學生而言，當前正是計劃未來就業升學的關鍵時刻，獎學金得主的寶貴意見可謂及時雨。過去數月來，融樂會為中一、中五、中六的同學共舉辦了四次學校講座，講題圍繞個人身份及香港公民身份探索、學習中文的重要性，及模擬面試，由此，我們共接觸到二百五十位同學。在此亦感謝十六位融樂會獎學金得主協助。
