SUNDAY, JANUARI 4, 1987

THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT CIVIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN, WHICH STARTED LAST AUGUST, HAD INSTILLED THE GENERAL CONCEPT OF CITIZENSHIP AMONG RESIDENTS THROUGH WIDE-RANGING PROGRAMMES.

THESE WERE ORGANISED BY CIVIC EDUCATION TEAMS FORMED UNDER THE DISTRICT'S SIX AREA COMMITTEES.

THE SECOND PHASE OF THE CAMPAIGN WILL PREPARE RESIDENTS FOR THE POLITICAL REVIEW. THE OBJECTIVES ARE TO ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT POLITICAL ISSUES, ENGAGE IN DISCUSSIONS AND REFLECT THEIR VIEWS TO THE GOVERNMENT.

TO FOSTER RESIDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESENT POLITICAL SYSTEM, ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND AREA COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO VISIT OMELCO AND ATTEND A LEGCO SESSION ON JANUARY 7 (WEDNESDAY),

THERE WILL ALSO BE ANOTHER ROUND OF HOUSEHOLD VISITS BY CIVIC EDUCATION TEAMS TO OBTAIN UP-TO-DATE PUBLIC OPINION ON THE POLITICAL REVIEW AND TO STIMULATE RESIDENTS' INTEREST.

A SEMINAR ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT WILL BE HELD IN WAH FU COMMUNITY HALL ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 22. A LEGISLATIVE COUNCILLOR, MR ANDREW WONG, WILL BE AMONG THE SPEAKERS.

IN A FURTHER ACTIVITY, STANLEY AND SHEK O WILL CELEBRATE THE SPRING FESTIVAL WITH A CARNIVAL COMBINING FUN, ENTERAINMENT AND CIVIC EDUCATION ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8.
