扶輪地區社會服務研討會 2023
扶輪年度始於每的7月。我們特意於扶輪年度開始之前，籌備了一次大型地區社會服務研究討會，予所有準社長、服務主委及所有對服務有興趣的社員交流和學習的機會，希望激發扶輪社友對來年社會服務的思考。
在研討會中，我們邀請到香港教育大學校長張仁良教授作特別分享嘉賓，分享其對社會服務的想法。緊接著，前地區總監們分享了社會服務的生命週期，由前期計劃到後期執行的注意事項，如甚麼應該鼓勵甚麼應該避免。及後，我們邀請到服務中不同持份者參與坐談會，大談與慈善機構合作時要注意的事項以及如何有效招募更多義工投入服務。
簡單小休過後，便到了分組討論環節。我們從扶輪社過往眾多社會服務中精選了數個非常出色的項目，並邀請項目團隊代表在小組中分享。台上主力分享，台下亦積極回應，場面相當活躍融洽。這些服務受眾廣泛，包括特殊需要人士、長者服務、青年發展等，具備相當的參考價值。
扶輪地區社會服務研討會的成功，除了歸功於一眾籌備幹事外，亦感謝所有分享嘉賓和參與者。相信是次活動能帶給來賓各種思考，期望在未來扶輪年度能見得更豐富多彩的社會服務。
Rotary District Community Service Seminar 2023
The Rotary Year begins in July each year. We purposely prepared a large-scale regional social service seminar before the start of the Rotary year, providing opportunities for all in-coming presidents, service chairs and all those who are interested in service to exchange and learn, hoping to inspire Rotary members to contribute more to social service in the coming year.
In the seminar, we invited Professor Stephen Cheung, President of the Education University of Hong Kong, as a special guest speaker to share his thoughts on social service. Immediately afterwards, past district governors shared the life cycle of social services, from early planning to later implementation, such as what should be encouraged and what should be avoided. Afterwards, we invited different stakeholders in the service sector to participate in discission panels, talking about the points to be paid attention to when cooperating with charitable organizations and how to effectively recruit more volunteers to serve.
After a brief break, it was time for group discussion. We selected several outstanding projects from Rotary Clubs, and invited project team representatives to share. When guest speakers shared on stage, audience responded actively. These services cover a wide-range of service targets, including people with special needs, the elderly, youth development, etc. We believe it has considerable reference value for clubs.
The success of the Rotary District Community Service Seminar is not only the effort by organizers, but also thanks to all the sharing guests and participants. It is believed that this event will bring various values to the guests, and it is hoped that Rotary will have more diverse and rich social service in the future.
