The Equal Opportunity Unit is dedicated to promoting equal opportunities and aim to inspire and support students who are passionate about organising diversity and inclusion projects/events. 🌟

We motivate our student ambassadors to bring forward new ideas, form project teams, and turn their passion into action, backed by our unit’s support and guidance. Not only can students sharpen their organisational and communication skills by joining the EOSA Programme, but they can also make new friends from different disciplines and help foster a more inclusive campus culture alongside us. 🚀💙

Through the EOSA Programme, students are empowered to learn about equal opportunity issues, including the four anti-discrimination ordinances in Hong Kong (S*x Discrimination, Disability Discrimination, Family Status Discrimination, and Race Discrimination).

The EOSA Programme also offers useful resources and training to help students bring inclusive event ideas to life for the HKU community. Recent EOSA-initiated projects cover topics ranging from gender equality and mental wellness to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). ✨🌈

It will be a truly engaging experience for student ambassadors who are eager to learn beyond the classroom throughout the academic year and help promote the message of equal opportunity for all. 💡🤝

A safe and fruitful orientation for freshmen starts with informed student leaders and they all play a vital role in shaping a positive orientation experience.💬🌱

Over 100 student leaders joined the Anti-S*xual Harassment Interactive Workshop on 10 and 11 June, co-organised by the EOU and CEDARS.

The workshop, facilitated by 平．常．事 EO Matters , introduced the definition of sexual harassment under the S*x Discrimination Ordinance. Through interactive case studies, role plays, and discussions on bystander intervention and support channels, participants strengthened their understanding of how to prevent and respond to sexual harassment on campus.

Big thanks to our student leaders for taking the lead in building a diverse and inclusive campus together!👏✨

Theme: HKU, a Boundless Campus Where Everyone Thrives
 
Entirely hand drawn with no AI assistance, this illustration depicts a group of diverse students jumping high above the red line which is a symbol for “limit” or “bounds”. I’d like to particularly highlight the student that required wheelchair assistance, but was able to jump higher than anybody else because of help from other students, enabling her to be released from being wheelchair-bound. In this joyous depiction of a healthy and supportive learning environment, I also included students acting extraordinary and being themselves. I adopted a style that is reminiscent of the famous Roald Dahl children’s book series (Quentin Blake), tying into good virtues and ideas of personal development.

Each puzzle piece is uniquely shaped — different, yet essential to completing the whole picture. Similarly, every student at HKU, including those with special educational needs (SEN), brings a distinct perspective and strength. The design celebrates that a barrier-free community is not about making everyone the same, but about ensuring every piece fits and is valued. When we remove discrimination and harassment, the puzzle finally becomes whole — and everyone thrives together.

Theme: Join us in Building a Campus Free from Discrimination and Harassment
 
This design captures the collective effort required to foster a campus free from discrimination. Using the metaphor of construction, it shows diverse hands working in harmony to build the university’s foundation. Each puzzle piece and architectural tool represents a shared commitment to equity and safety. The iconic campus structure is reinforced by symbols of protection and unity, while the soft, heart-shaped bubbles signify the atmosphere of care and support that defines a truly inclusive community. All students can study and enjoy lives without worries and concerns in this campus. This banner serves as a call to action: when we build together, we create a boundless environment where every student, including student with special educational needs, can thrive.
