Hong Kong is a multicultural city rich with diversity and tradition. However, its ethnic minority elderly often face challenges such as social isolation, language barriers and a sense of disconnection from their own cultural roots. A team of students from the Connect ACE Program is excited to present “Zen Zone for Elderly”, an initiative aimed at foster healthy lifestyles and well-being among ethnic minority elderly through cultural gatherings. In partnership with Hong Kong Christian Service, the initiative features two interactive workshops on healthy eating and handicraft to help participants relax and connect. Join us as volunteers to facilitate workshops and create joyful cross-cultural connections! # Priorities will be given to students who can attend all sessions, including briefing and 2 services. 香港是一個多元文化、傳統豐富的城市，但少數族裔長者卻常常面臨社交孤立、語言障礙及與自身文化脫節等挑戰。四位科大侍學行「社群參與大使」現與香港基督教服務處合作推出「耆樂鬆一Zone」，希望透過交流活動，促進少數族裔長者的身心健康。 活動將以兩個互動工作坊形式舉行，加強少數族裔長者對健康飲食的認識，並讓他們透過製作手工放鬆身心。現誠邀科大同學加入義工行列，協助帶領工作坊，一起促進交流，把歡樂帶給長者！ #這項活動將優先考慮能參加所有環節的學生，包括簡介會和兩節服務。 Briefing Date: 23 Feb 2026 (Mon) Time: 6 – 7:30pm Venue: HKUST Campus Service Day (2 Sessions) Date: 26 Feb (Thu) or 3 Mar 2026 (Tue) Time: 9am – 12nn Gathering Time: 8:40am @Cheung Sha Wan
