Goal

香港監察成功推動英國BNO簽證及加拿大救生艇計劃後，在英加兩地推出「青年倡議計劃」，旨在透過公民及政治參與，支援初到埗的香港年輕人，為他們賦權。


計劃透過工作坊、培訓和國會實習機會，協助年輕港人了解移民國家的議會及政府制度。他們既能探索如何以香港人的獨特身分貢獻當地的公民社會及政治生態，又能研究如何在英加政治制度內倡議香港人權。


自2023年2月起，加拿大香港監察已安排三位年輕港人在加拿大國會議員辦事處實習，成果令人鼓舞。我們預期在2024年9月至2025年6月期間，再有一至兩位年輕港人有機會擔任國會實習生。


我們希望籌集£2,000資金，用以發展「青年倡議計劃」，尤其是加拿大國會實習計劃。請立即捐款，幫助離鄉別井的香港年輕人在海外建立新生活。


Following our successful campaigns to introduce the BNO visa and Canadian lifeboat schemes, Hong Kong Watch launched a Youth Initiative Programme in the UK and Canada to support and empower young Hong Kongers through civic and political engagement.


We organise workshops, training sessions and parliamentary internships to help young Hong Kongers understand the parliamentary and government systems in their new host countries. They will be able to explore how to contribute towards the local civic and political life with their unique positioning as Hong Kongers on the one hand, and advocate for human rights in Hong Kong within the political systems in the UK and Canada on the other hand.


Since February 2023, Hong Kong Watch Canada has placed three young Hong Kongers in the offices of Members of the Canadian Parliament. Following this inspiring success, we expect that one or two more young Hong Kongers will be placed in an MP’s office between September 2024 and June 2025.


We are hoping to raise £2,000 to develop the Youth Initiative Programme, particularly the Canadian Parliamentary Internship Scheme. Please donate now to support young Hong Kongers who have left home to build a new life abroad.
