The British Council is proud to partner with Christian Action for this fundraising event in aid of the Transitions programme, which offers free English language lessons to asylum seekers and refugees in Hong Kong. The lessons provide opportunities for the students to develop language and coping skills which help them to navigate the asylum process in Hong Kong and to integrate when they are resettled in another country. Recently there have been more than 100 students attending the lessons given by ten voluntary teachers. You are welcomed to support this worthy cause by attending the ‘Connect with EdArts’ event on 10 October 2014, where you will meet and be entertained by the amazing refugee and asylum seeker students. Refreshments are included.
