In January, Unison conducted 3 public education workshops for teachers in Ho Yu College and Primary School, students in HKU Faculty of Education, and students from VTC Youth College  respectively. The participants were very responsive and reflected that they were inspired by the sharing of our scholarship awardees. The teachers find the cultural sensitivity training motivating and uplifting whereby they acquired tips to improve home school cooperation with ethnic minority parents.

在一月，融樂會分別為嗇色園主辦可譽中學暨可譽小學的教師、香港大學教育系的學生及VTC青年學院的學生舉辦了公眾教育講座。席上，各參與者皆踴躍回應、分享；融樂會獎學金得獎同學的分享， 亦叫他們大受鼓舞。而老師亦因講座而更了解與少數族裔相處的方法，加強家校合作。

Unison was invited as a panelist at the Disability and Barriers to Inclusive Education Forum organised by the Equal Opportunity Unit at HKU and Musubi on 22 January.  We discussed the lack of support for ethnic minority children with special education needs (SEN) in mainstream schools, the difficulties of ethnic minority parents with SEN children in choosing schools, as well as misdiagnosis and overdiagnosis of SEN ethnic minority children.

在一月二十二日，融樂會獲邀參與由香港平等機會事務處與結伴香港合辦的「傷健人士與共融教育的障礙論壇」。我們討論了現時對主流學校對有特殊教育需要的少數族裔兒童欠缺支援， 這些兒童的家長的選校困難，及少數族裔兒童的特殊教育需要評估時的誤診及過度診斷問題。

Unison is grateful to our training partners from Ernst & Young (EY) for conducting workshops on the career exploration programme for S4-S5 ethnic minority youth. The workshops will teach the students future-ready skills that they can use in academic or professional settings. ELEVATE is a one-on-one programme for S4-S5 ethnic minority youth on individual life coaching and career exploration.

融樂會榮幸邀得安永會計師事務所派出導師，為已參加本會Elevate計劃的中四至中五的少數族裔青年在來月舉辦兩場工作坊，主題為職涯探索。該工作坊將會教授參與同學各種在職場或學術上必不可少的技巧，助其裝備未來。ELEVATE為融樂會專為中四至中五學生而設的計劃，旨在為其提供一對一的個人生涯規劃及職涯探索。

Unison has been invited to be a member in the working committee of SCMP Inclusion Collective which aims to discuss matters of diversity, equity and inclusion and foster greater understanding and awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion in the community. The first conversation was held on 27 January.

融樂會獲SCMP Inclusion Collective邀請，擔任其工作委員會一員。該委員會旨在討論多元、平等及包容相關議題， 並促進社群對這些價值的了解及意識。第一次會談在一月二十七日舉辦。
