Project Himalaya

This project targets on local ethnic minority youngsters and tailor-made a series of activities aimed at:

• Objective: To build an inclusive society, cultivate non-Chinese ethnic minority youth to become the pillars of the future, and promote the coexistence of multiculturalism within the police force.
• Vision: To assist non-Chinese youth in integrating into the community through language training, career guidance, and cultural experiences, while also reserving outstanding talent for the police force.
• Values: Inclusion, professionalism, accountability, community collaboration.

Introduction of our activities

Chinese Language Tutoring Class

• Every week, local university students serve as the main instructors, assisted by police officers and student volunteers, focusing on enhancing the participants' Chinese communication and writing skills to lay a foundation for applying to the police force and for daily social interactions.

Sports activities

• The program regularly offers "Judo" and "Soccer" classes and occasionally introduces training courses such as pickleball and fencing. Through diverse and dynamic activities, it effectively promotes the program's objectives:
• ● Discipline and Confidence Building: Activities emphasize the cultivation of self-discipline and perseverance, strengthening members’ physical fitness while enhancing their compliance and stress resistance, thereby establishing resilient self-confidence.
• ● Teamwork and Communication Development: Activities focus on teamwork, requiring members to effectively communicate and collaborate closely to achieve goals. Through interaction, participants naturally improve their Chinese communication skills, gain a deeper understanding of the core values of team spirit, and further break down cultural barriers.
• ● Deepening Sense of Belonging and Inclusion: These activities create an equitable and friendly inclusive environment, allowing participants to forge strong bonds with police volunteers and other community members through shared experiences of effort and laughter. This not only enhances their sense of belonging to Hong Kong society but also embodies the concept of racial inclusion.

Training

• ● Preparation Guide: An explanation of the recruitment process for the police force, including written test types, physical fitness test items, and interview evaluation criteria. The activity enhances members' performance and problem-solving abilities through simulated group discussions, current affairs analysis, and situational judgment exercises, allowing them to fully demonstrate their potential during the official application process.
• ● Physical Training Class: Guided by professional coaches, this class focuses on improving members' endurance, explosive strength, and agility. This training not only lays a solid foundation for members to pass the tests but also fosters their perseverance and builds the strong physical and mental qualities required of law enforcement personnel.

Volunteer Services

• The program encourages and leads participants to engage in various community activities as program volunteers, such as:
• ● Setting up booths at local festivals to introduce the cultural characteristics of non-Chinese ethnic groups.
• ● Participating in senior visit activities to embody the community spirit of care and inclusion.
• ● Assisting in crime prevention and anti-fraud promotional events organized by local police, conveying safety information to the public.
• Through these hands-on experiences, members become not only beneficiaries of the program but also proactive contributors. In their service, they further enhance their language skills, develop leadership abilities, and showcase a positive image of non-Chinese youth actively integrating into and serving the community, fundamentally breaking stereotypes and becoming a driving force for racial inclusion.
