TWF and CUHK Symposium on Youth Work and Youth Support in a Changing Society

The Women's Foundation partnered with The Chinese University of Hong Kong to present a full day symposium on the challenges, opportunities and innovations in youth work and youth support in a changing society. The event attracted over 300 social workers, faulty, teachers, trainers, parents, NGO representatives and other members of the public interested in in youth issues.

Su-Mei Thompson, CEO at The Women's Foundation, opened the event with introductory and welcome remarks. She was followed by Professor Tung Fung, Interim Dean for the Faculty of Social Science at CUHK, Professor Lai-chong Ma, Chairperson for the Department of Social Work at CUHK and Professor Sek-yum Ngai, Professor at the Department of Social in CUHK.
