工作坊簡介

倡導就是為自己和他人發聲，為無權無勢的人賦予權力，並通過終止假設和消除平等與包容的障礙來實現改變。任何人只要願意反思和質疑現狀、揭穿神話和成見、捍衛自己和他人的權益，都可以成為倡導者。

本課程結合互動主題活動，引導學生從多角度探討香港三個特定弱勢/弱勢社群的基本權利和獨特需要：兒童和青少年、有精神健康問題的人士，以及有不同溝通需要的人士。透過體驗式學習活動和反思實踐，學生將發展和鞏固有效溝通和倡導的基本技能、態度和能力，為他們成為自己和任何有需要的人的同理心倡導者做好準備。

Workshop Description

To advocate is to speak up for oneself and others, to empower those who are powerless, and to make changes by ending assumptions and removing barriers to equality and inclusion. Anyone who is prepared to reflect on and question the status quo, to debunk myths and stigmas, and to defend the rights and interests of self and others can be an advocate.
This program incorporates interactive thematic activities that guide students to explore from multiple perspectives the fundamental rights and unique needs of three specific groups of vulnerable/ disadvantaged persons in Hong Kong: children and juveniles, persons with mental health challenges, and persons with diverse communication needs. Through experiential learning activities and reflective practice, students will develop and consolidate essential skills, attitudes, and competencies for effective communication and advocacy, preparing them to be empathetic advocates for themselves and anyone in need.

​

Workshop Objectives

The programme aims to nurture gifted learners into empathetic advocates by:
1. Equipping students with a fundamental understanding of universal moral, ethical, and legal principles;
2. inspiring students to gain analytical insights into the injustice and barriers faced by vulnerable/ disadvantaged individuals in the local context;
3. Developing students’ advocacy skills, including empathetic listening, problem analysis and research, and communication skills;
4. Facilitating students to develop awareness and empathy for themselves and the local vulnerable/ disadvantaged populations.​
