4. A WG Member said that the activities held in last year had been very successful, while there was still room to optimize. For one thing, the Yau Tsim Mong (“YTM”) District Ethnic Cultural Show could be cut short. For another, the masters of ceremonies should host the activities bilingually. Members said that those participating in the activities were mostly Nepalese, and hoped that other ethnic leaders can encourage different ethnic minorities to participate.
5. There being no further comments, the Chairman ended the discussion on this item.
Item 2: Discussion on the Proposed Activities for 2019-2020
6. Ms Kase WU briefly introduced the proposed activities for 2019-2020 with a ----- PowerPoint presentation (Annex 2).

Besides, she suggested inviting non-governmental organisations that specialize in servicing ethnic minorities in the district to co-organise practical and service-based activities (e.g. luncheon symposia, career exploration workshops/visits and
- 2 - Chinese language classes for students) with the WG to expand the target group of the activities.
(Ms FU Yim-ting submitted a declaration of interest form concerning YTMDC-funded activities.) (Mr Andy YU left the meeting at 4:38 p.m.)
7. A WG Member said that he supported the activities proposed by the YTMDO but was concerned about the District Council Election to be held in November this year. He worried about the feasibility of holding the activities in time, and suggested concluding them by August or September, which would be ideal.
8. Ms Kase WU said will invite the said non-governmental organisations to submit co-organizing activities proposal, if any proposal is received, their representatives will be invited to introduce the contents of and proposals for co-organising the activities at the next meeting. There was no objection.
