Exploring cultural diversity and promoting cross-cultural understanding through the production of podcast series

  

  

The programme brings together 20 participants from diverse racial backgrounds to produce a 10-episode podcast series with a focus on exploring cultural diversity, cross-cultural understanding, as well as the experiences of marginalised and underprivileged groups.

The programme aims to assist people of diverse races overcome the language barrier of lacking the confidence to speak despite the capability to understand. It also helps them improve their communication skills at work and their job opportunities. It also aims to let the public understand the experiences of different members of society, eliminating preconceived stereotypes. It seeks to raise awareness about the situations and needs of various vulnerable groups, as well as the challenges and struggles they face in their daily lives. The ultimate goal is to promote mutual understanding between people of diverse backgrounds.
