Civic Education Exhibition

Do you want to get yourself acquainted with the rights and protections enshrined in the newly passed Sex Discrimination Ordinance and Disability Discrimination Ordinance, but in an innovative and entertaining way? Then, you should not miss the chance of visiting the "Civic Education Exhibition 1995" which will begin tomorrow (Saturday) in the main concourse of the Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Organised by the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education, the exhibition aims to promote its work theme of this year: "Equal Opportunities and Elimination of Discrimination".

Exhibits depicting the major principles of the two new anti-discrimination laws will be on display in the 285-square-metre venue.

Those eager to face a challenge on their understanding of the legislation can pit their talents against two electronic quiz games.

What's more? An eye-catching four-metre long mechanical set-up, in which some movable cartoon figures will spell out the basic rights of children, will be featured in the venue.

Videos on world children by the Hong Kong Committee for United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) will also be screened to let visitors know more about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was extended to Hong Kong in October last year.

Another interesting demonstration will focus on the Basic Law to familiarise the public with their rights and obligations under the future Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government.

Other highlights are the winning entries of the Cartoon/Illustration Competition on Equal Opportunities and Elimination of Discrimination, and the top three Outstanding Civic Education Projects for 1994-95.
