Core Activities of IDDP for 2014-15
5.
The “Organising Committee for the IDDP 2014” set up by the Hong Kong
Joint Council for People with Disabilities and the Hong Kong Council of Social
Service held its 1st and 2nd preparatory meetings on 29 January and 23 April 2014
respectively. At the meetings, the Organising Committee had reviewed the core
activities of IDDP 2013, and discussed the theme and format of the activities for
IDDP 2014. Details are summarised as follows:
(a)
Attendees agreed that the various activities of IDDP 2013, including
the “Opening Ceremony for IDDP 2013 cum Presentation Ceremony
for ‘18 Districts Caring Employers’ Award and 18 Districts
Interactive Art Booths”, “Ocean Park Fun Day” and “Free
Transportation Day cum Free Enjoyment Day for Museum and
Swimming Pool Facilities under LCSD and Free Visit to Hong Kong
Wetland Park for PWDs” as well as “Free Enjoyment of Leisure and
Cultural Facilities Day for PWDs”, were well arranged, and the
responses were overwhelming; and
(b)
IDDP 2014 would continue to adopt the main theme of “All-round
promotion of the spirit of the Convention and cross-sectoral
collaboration towards building an equal and inclusive society”. Also,
it was suggested that public education should emphasize on the
following key messages: promoting the spirit and core values of the
Convention; facilitating employment of PWDs; promoting concerted
efforts in building a barrier-free environment; promoting the use of
sign language; enhancing public awareness of the importance of
mental health; and encouraging members of the public to respect,
accept and care for the ex-mental patients; and
(c)
To strengthen the promotion of the spirit of the Convention to
teenagers and students, the Organising Committee would produce an
education kit on the Convention, organise train-the-trainer courses as
well as workshops on the Convention in schools. Also, the “18
Districts Inter-school Quiz on the Convention on the Rights of
PWDs” would be held. In 2014-15, the Central Celebration Activities
would feature the “Opening Ceremony for IDDP 2014 cum
Presentation Ceremony for ‘18 Districts Caring Employers’ Award
and 18 Districts Inter-school Quiz on the Convention on the Rights of
PWDs (Final)”.
