Digital literacy is often an overlooked issue within the ethnic diversity community in Hong Kong. This year, Caritas Youth and Community Service hosted a digital equality themed event on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The event included crucial keynote speeches from professionals like the honourable guest Ms.Linda Lam. Informative healthcare resources and AI related game booths.
Caritas Labour Friendly Communities Project held a booth introducing Hospital Authority’s mobile application, HA GO including hands on registration for families. Additionally, informing the public on the increase of medical fees in the HK healthcare and the importance of knowing the nearest District Health Centre.
