The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (the Council) has ever committed through research and advocacy to the co-discovery of social needs and the promotion of service and policy development with the sector. In the past years, the Council has organized conferences and workshops related to research and advocacy, aiming to encourage the sector to share relevant frontline experiences, thereby fostering learning and knowledge exchange.
The topic of the annual conference on research and advocacy of the Council is “Co-discovery of the New Trend and Issues of Social Development”. It highlights the role of multi-sectors in shaping social realities and aims to collaboratively explore and construct social trends and issues through data and storytelling. No matter establishing new services or advocating policies, we emphasize using a pragmatic and evidence-based way to grasp social phenomena and trends, and articulating issues in an easily understandable manner to help various sectors recognize social needs and co-create responses. How can we adopt an evidence-based approach to discern the signs of social development, and design appropriate service and policy?
Therefore, we have invited various guest speakers from different sectors to share their experiences at the conference, hoping to promote communication between the sectors and other sectors on the topic.
