Celebrities to kick off civic education day on Sunday
Legislators, celebrities and television stars will kick off the Civic Education Day 95' on Sunday (February 19) at the open piazza of Times Square in Causeway Bay.
The highlight of the day will be an "all-rounder" contest to drive home the message of sex equality by having both genders reversing roles in performing everyday chores men cook and do flower arrangements while their female counterparts will demonstrate their expertise in replacing a car tyre and carpentry work. And more.
What follows promises to be full of clever and witty humour when the two genders engage in a debate and take part in a quiz on sex equality and equal opportunities in employment.
They will also talk about their division of labour in the family and their share of responsibility for raising their children.
Two game stalls and an exhibition will also be on the programme.
A spokesman for the organiser the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education - invites the public to join the fun from 11 am to 5 pm outside the shopping
centre.
A mascot going by the name of "Elite Owl" will also be distributing gifts and souvenirs.
