SOCIAL WELFARE
The committee focussed on the concept of the rule of law and human rights in 1993–94. Its programmes included a four-day Civic Education Exhibition in July featuring human rights; the production of teaching kits for use in secondary schools; and seminars. A territory-wide civic education survey was also conducted to gauge public views on civic education subjects.
With the help of the Information Services Department, teleline messages on human rights were available free of charge to the public between July and September. A series of 13 radio programmes was produced in co-operation with Commercial Radio to promote key concepts of human rights and the rule of law.
The committee continued to offer sponsorship under the Community Participation Scheme to voluntary agencies and district civic education bodies to encourage them to organise civic education activities. A total of $1.2 million has been made available for 35 projects in 1993–94.
The committee continued to liaise with voluntary agencies and district civic education bodies, from whom its work has received strong support.
