Press Conference on Tin Shui Wai Youth Survey

The HKU Faculty of Social Sciences has launched the "Tin Shui Wai Youth Development Project" since June 2005. The project is directed by Dr. Chu Yiu-kong of the Department of Sociology, Dr. Sandra Tsang and Dr. Lam Chiu-wan of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration. The project team collaborates with community partners in Tin Shui Wai and work through research, services and advocacy to enhance the positive development of young people in the district.

In May 2006 a youth survey was conducted in Tin Shui Wai. In total 1,374 F.3 students from 12 secondary schools participated in the study. The survey aims to collect the respondents' views on community facilities, social networks, family relationship and their habitual behaviour. The findings will be released at Convocation Room, Main Building, HKU on November 18, 2006. A youth representative from Tin Shui Wai will share his growth experience in the press conference.
