Assembly on Civic Education cum First Floor Plain Talk – Identity

Four Civic Education assistants and History students from Secondary 3 to 5 conducted an assembly in English on 19 Dec to analyse how Hong Kong people’s senses of identities are shaped by political, economic, social and historical factors.  Globalization facilitates Hong Kong people’s realization and acceptance of their multiple identities.  From the perspectives of students, different identities had their own uniqueness and values which might not be necessarily contradictory to one another.  As Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city where the East and the West meet, our unique background allows us to embrace people of different cultures and backgrounds in a harmonious way.  The hard work of the students was greatly appreciated by their schoolmates and teachers and the assembly enabled students to develop a critical mind towards hot social issues.
