The Symposium will present the remarkable achievements of the FAMILY: a Jockey Club Initiative for a Harmonious Society (“FAMILY Project”) and the Jockey Club SMART Family-Link Project (“JCSFL Project”). Both Projects were initiated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (HKJC) and led by HKU in collaboration with NGOs and other community stakeholders. Adopting a public health approach, the Projects have promoted family wellbeing and the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in family services in Hong Kong, with hundreds of collaborators and millions of beneficiaries over the past 14 years, overcoming barriers to services arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. HKJC, HKU and NGO speakers will be sharing experiences and successes of these two Projects and their vision of promoting family wellbeing with multi-sector collaborations and ICT use.
