Together with Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation, we are going to launch a campaign to raise awareness of intergenerational approach in social sector and encourage NGOs to adopt IG approaches in their services. Asian Charity Services will organize and support our events such as information day, symposium, Hackathon and pitching for NGOs with potential capacity to offer IG related programming in Hong Kong.
Through this program, we hope to build community and develop opportunities for Funder-NGO collaborations to carry out intergenerational programs that are meaningful and innovative.
Information Day
We will conduct two online Info Sessions (English and Chinese) to brief potential NGO participants on the project objectives, Symposium, proposal process and funding opportunities.
Date: September, 17th 2021 (Fri)
Hybrid Symposium
Our symposium helps those NGOs, private and corporate funders who are interested to learn more about intergenerational program practice. We will invite keynote speakers, experienced NGOs and funders to share best IG practice from academic and NGO community. We will also invite our partnered NGOs to participate in a session as a coach and share their experiences in IG projects to those new NGOs who have no such experience before they can submit concept notes.
Date: September, 29th 2021 (Wed)
Location: 15/F HSBC Main Building, 1 Queen's Road Central, Central
Keynote Speakers:
