- Empowering Future Leaders Through Diverse Experiences
Real-life experiences play a powerful role in shaping young people’s growth and self-discovery. In partnership with Teach For Hong Kong, WEDO GLOBAL provided training to Form 3 students from Delia Memorial School (Glee Path), equipping them with storytelling and facilitation skills. With the guidance of our Cultural Ambassadors, the students conducted Mei Foo Multicultural Tours aimed at promoting multicultural understanding, strengthening community connections, and building their confidence and engagement. As the training partner, WEDO GLOBAL designed and facilitated two interactive workshops. The first workshop focused on building students’ storytelling skills, guiding students to craft engaging narratives, connecting personal and community stories, and presenting with confidence. Through a series of interactive activities, students practised storytelling and received feedback to enhance their delivery. “I found talking about our own culture items the most impressive, I've learned new techniques of presenting and building my confidence.” Student The second workshop focused on cultivating students' activity facilitation skills, equipping them with practical techniques to increase participant engagement and to design meaningful learning experiences for diverse participants. Working in groups, they practised guiding different segments of the tour, strengthening their collaboration, communication, and facilitation skills. “The workshop provided us with engaging games, which gave me ideas on how to respond during tours.” — Student The training programme culminated in the Mei Foo multicultural guided tour, which provided students with a valuable hands-on opportunity to share their stories with participants from HSBC and members of the local community. It was inspiring to see the students step into leadership roles, guiding the tour, sharing stories, and interacting with participants with growing confidence and ownership. Their development was evident not only in their presentation and facilitation skills, but also in their strengthened sense of identity and connection to the community. Following the tour, participants expressed their appreciation, describing the experience as inspiring and praising the students’ confidence and performance. “The history of Mei Foo is fascinating. Learning that it used to be a beach and how its name was created was particularly memorable. The students were well-prepared, and the use of iPads with photos helped deepen our understanding.” — Participant “The cannons in Mei Foo were unforgettable, especially with the explanations about past military defence. I also learned about the challenges students face in finding Halal food. This tour successfully highlighted multicultural interactions between the public and students.” — Participant “I feel inspired and motivated to pause and appreciate the beauty and diversity in our community, and to better understand the needs of different community members.” — Participant We are grateful for the active participation and encouragement from participants, student ambassadors, as well as Teach For Hong Kong for their coordination and support. The programme concluded on a positive and successful note.

- Finding Calm and Connection: Rangoli Coaster Workshop
We are delighted to organize a Rangoli Coaster Workshop for staff at the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), creating a meaningful space for cultural exploration, wellbeing, and team connection. The workshop began with an introduction to the history and meaning of Rangoli—an art form that welcomes guests and celebrates festivals across South Asia—allowing participants to learn more about diverse cultures around the world. Our Cultural Ambassador shared how Rangoli is created, and how these traditions are kept alive in both daily life and festive celebrations. “The introduction to the cultural origins and the creating process was the most memorable part. The workshop helped me better understand the culture, try new things, and become more aware of multiculturalism.” Guided by our Cultural Ambassadors, participants created their own rangoli coaster, working at their own pace in a quiet, music-filled room. Participants described the experience as peaceful and healing, appreciating the chance to slow down, de-stress, and express themselves. “There are so many different cultures in this world, and everyone is blending together to form one big family, getting to know one another and using different activities to become closer. It is very meaningful.” “I found the creating Rangoli coaster process especially unforgettable, my mind felt deeply relaxed and peaceful and the workshop was both fun and emotionally soothing.” Thank you to the Hong Kong Productivity Council for embracing this opportunity to promote staff wellbeing and inclusion, and to all the participants for their enthusiasm and openness to learning. We look forward to co-creating more multicultural experiential workshops that support both personal wellbeing and a more inclusive workplace culture. #WEDOGLOBAL #HKPC #Diversity #Inclusion #CulturalAwareness #Rangoli #TeamBuilding #Art #Experience #Well-being #Healthandwellness

- Inspiring Student Creativity and Community Connection through Cultural Arts Workshops
We were delighted to organise an Arabic Calligraphy Workshop for students from Our Lady’s College – an engaging experience that offered them a hands-on opportunity to experience Arabic calligraphy, spark creativity, and build cross‑cultural connections. The session introduced students to the basics and history of Arabic calligraphy—an art form that beautifully blends language and visual expression.

- Understand Cultural Differences Through Wan Chai Tour
It was our pleasure to welcome F3 students from Rhenish Church Pang Hok Ko Memorial College on a Wan Chai Community Tour, where they visited the Sikh Temple and explored more about Hong Kong’s rich multicultural community. The tour gave students a valuable chance to step out of the classroom and experience a culture that may have been new to many of them. Guided by our Cultural Ambassadors, the students learned about the history, beliefs, and traditions of Sikh culture. Through conversation and sharing, they discovered the importance of values such as equality, service, and acceptance. What made the experience especially meaningful was the way these ideas came to life through direct engagement, helping students see how culture is not just something to study, but something to experience and appreciate. “Ethnic minorities are human too, we should not think they are different.” Student One of the highlights of the tour was the chance to experience authentic Indian vegetarian food together in the community kitchen. Students found it amazing sitting on the floor to eat while also learning about the spirit of generosity and selfless service that makes Langar such a meaningful practice. “The most memorable part was eating Indian Cuisine, because it was my first time trying Indian cuisine. The way they eat is also completely different from what we're used to.” “We should care more and embrace other cultures and actively learn about diverse cultures.” Through this enriching cultural experience, students not only expanded their knowledge of Sikh culture but also developed a deeper appreciation for diversity, inclusion, and mutual respect. The tour served as a reminder that meaningful intercultural experiences can help build empathy and stronger connections across communities. #WEDOGLOBAL #RhenishChurchPangHokKoMemorialCollege #Multicultural #CulturalTour #SikhTemple #Community #EthnicMinorites #Respect #CulturalDiversity #Education #Diversity #Inclusion

"My favorite part was making the bookmark because it was so fun to do it myself!"
