Women of different ethnic backgrounds co-produce cross-cultural knowledge and positive intercultural experience through neighbourhood projects, thereby creating long term community innovation and selfsustained empowerment. The project aims to increase appreciation of the value of cultural diversity in Hong Kong on the personal and family levels, in the cognitive, affective, and social domains; spread the concept of interculturalism on the neighborhood level through outreach programs; and facilitate sustainable community innovation through mentoring projects in culturally diverse neighbourhoods.
